Jack Jackson and his Band
Jack Jackson rose to the top of his profession as a band-leader when he formed his band in 1933 and succeeded Ambrose's Blue Lyres at the Dorchester Hotel. After six very successful years at the Dorchester, during which time he gave numerous broadcasts, he left in March 1939 to take his own band round the halls. Soon after the outbreak of war he threw all this up with the idea of joining the Royal Air Force, but was turned down for medical reasons. Nowadays Jack is kept extremely busy. for besides running his dance orchestra he does a job of work as an engineer during the day.
