Jan Berenska and his orchestra of fifteen players have had a standing engagement at Leamington since 1933, playing at the Pump Room and in the summer at the Jephson Gardens,
Berenska is a well-known violinist and conductor ; he gave a recital in the Birmingham Town Hall at the age of fifteen, playing three instruments-piano, violin, and cello-and has made a celebrity tour with Peter Dawson.
Three or four years ago he formed his dance band, with which he has travelled all over England. He has also played first violin and accordion with Jack Wilson 's Versatile Five. He often sits up all night making the special orchestrations that many of his broadcasting numbers entail.
