Dances, songs, and readings from the West Coast with Kitty McLeod (soprano)
Alex. MacGregor (baritone)
Alex. MacKenzie (reader) and pipers and fiddlers
One of the types of programme most frequently requested by Scottish listeners is Scottish dance music, and the ' Scottish Half-Hour' this evening should satisfy these people. The dances will be played by a section of the strings of the BBC Scottish Orchestra, and one of the highlights will be the inclusion of the Scottish or Foursome Reel, which will be played in the authentic manner with the Strathspey played by the strings and the Reel by a quartet of pipers. To give dancers a breathing-space, there will be an interlude of songs and an appropriate reading.
