LESLIE JEFFRIES and THE GRAND HOTEL, EASTBOURNE, ORCHESTRA DORIS COWEN and FOSTER RICHARDSON (duets)

on National Programme Daventry

from the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne ORCHESTRA
Few broadcasts are more generally popular than those relayed on Sunday evenings from the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne. Not the chief reason, but a very good one, is that the acoustical properties of the room in which the orchestra plays are almost ideal. The programmes, too, are well chosen; they reflect wide experience and understanding of good popular taste. In the spring of 1934, Leslie Jeffries went to Eastbourne with a two years' contract and gave his first broadcast as leader and violin soloist of the Grand Hotel Orchestra. There is no better proof of his success than the fact that he has been offered' and has accepted a renewal of his contract for a further two years.
