with Don Carlos
Troise, leader of his sixteen-strong almost-all-mandolin band, has probably been broadcasting as long as any light orchestra leader living.
From a position in one of the immediately post-war dance bands he soon found himself a member of the old
2LO orchestra, and has been heard over the air off and on ever since.
The Mandoliers were formed soon after the 2LO dance orchestra left the BBC, and are now one ot the most unusual little orchestras in England. The combination provided by the Mandoliers introduces the novelty of the contrasting styles and changing tone colours of the various mandolins and their attendant instruments of the same family, such as guitars and differently-pitched banjos.
