at the piano
Arthur Sandford studied at the Royal Academy of Music, where he won many distinctions, including the coveted Mendelssohn Scholarship for composition, the first holder of which was Sir Arthur Sullivan.
A most versatile pianist, he has played on the music-halls and in Debroy Somers's Band. In 1934 he joined the staff of the BBC as pianist in the Variety Orchestra.
It was he who always played the tunes in the answers to Puzzle Corner in 'Monday Night at Eight'.
