played by Sydney Lipton and his Band
Sydney Lipton was to have been a straight violinist, but an accident to his hand changed all his plans, and preparations to finish his studies under Albert Sammons had to go by the board. Forced to the land of lighter music, he formed a dance band and played at the Palace Hotel, Kensington, where Ambrose heard him and engaged him as leader of some of his subsidiary bands. This led to his appointment at Grosvenor House ten years ago.
