' TOP of the Bill THE WESTERN BROTHERS (Kenneth and George)

on Forces Programme

View in Radio Times

Surely no two artists could more appropriately broadcast under the title of ' Top of the Bill ' than Kenneth and George Western, who have been top of the bill through the years at Grosvenor House, the Piccadilly, the Cafe de Paris, the Mayfair, on the halls, and on the air.
They are not brothers but cousins; their colours are egg, green, and egg. They satirise Mayfair, and Mayfair loves it ; they satirise hunt balls, and are cheered to the echo. ' Old School Tie ', ' It lets the side down ' , ' Play the game, you cads ', they have made classics in our time. Kenneth and George Western are a British institution.
They are always together. George, according to Kenneth, has never been known to go wrong on the piano. He is one of the best pianists on the halls. And Kenneth, according to George, is the best compere in the business. He is never lost for words and is always amusing.
