(From Birmingham)
Pattison's Salon Orchestra

Directed by Norris Stanley
Relayed from the Cafe Restaurant, Corporation Street

Before beginning to devote himself wholly to composition Mr. Eric Coates had a long experience as an orchestral player under the best auspices, an experience which he knows well how to turn to account in his own music. Gifted with a happy sense of melody, and a very deft and light touch, he is particularly successful in music of the more lighthearted order, and his Suite From the Countryside lives up to its title in the happiest way.
