C. B. Cochran

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Showman at large in the world of music
Written by a. p. HERBERT
This giant of show business tried his hand at presenting nearly everything from boxing to ballet, often without great financial success. Following a boxing match failure, his backers gave him this advice: ' stick to the theatre.' Happily, he did, and in this programme, for which A. P. Herbert has written the script, we shall hear music from some of C. B. Cochran 's great shows.
