with Victor Silvester and his Ballroom Orchestra

Victor Silvester, winner of a world dancing championship, is broadcasting fortnightly programmes of music for dancing. He has been associated with the Dancing World since he was demobilised at eighteen (he had joined the Army at the unripe age of fourteen). He has Gerry Moore and Eddie Macauley on pianos, Charles Stinelly on alto sax, Oscar Grasso as violinist, George Senior, bass, Ben Edwards, drums, and Rico de Stefano, piano accordion.
In every broadcast Silvester features a new dance, the swing step. 'Rhythmic Melody' is the key-note of his programmes.
