The personnel of the Norris Stanley Sextet is, with one exception, the same as that of Pattison's Salon Orchestra. Founded by Norris Stanley, the violinist and director of the Salon Orchestra, it has been broadcasting for eight years, and a trio formed from it has also been heard in the Midland programmes frequently. Norris Stanley himself began playing the violin when six, and at sixteen he was a member of Beecham's Opera Orchestra. At Pattison's he succeeded Tom Jones, who went to the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne.
