with Harry Porter (tenor)
The Harry Engleman Quintet has been broadcasting regularly now for about three years, though Engleman himself has had a longer radio history. He has broadcast frequently since 1931, when he first appeared with some of his own compositions in the Children's Hour.
Engleman comes of a musical family. His father, Joseph Engle man, was a composer, and his grandfather a trombonist in the old Birmingham Grand Theatre Orchestra. Apart from his work with the Quintet-which incidentally topped the bill at the London Palladium in 1937, and again on December 4 of last year-Engleman broadcasts with the Aston Hippodrome Orchestra, and with the Midland Revue Orchestra, as pianist.
