on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Jack Salisbury (violin)

Flower Waltz Tchaikovsky, arr. Fletcher

This Quintet first came to the microphone last August. Conducted by Frank Biffo himself, the instrumentalists form an extraordinary combination. There are two trumpets played by George Chappell and Eric Todd; two trombones played by Mangan Stanley Wilson; and a pianist, Guy Detcher. Biffo, who is a trumpet player, was a member of the original Savoy Orpheans, famous in the early days of broadcasting. At the moment, he is the conductor of a dance band at Tussaud's Restaurant in London.
