Conductor, Ivan Huckerby
The Aston Hippodrome Orchestra has now been on the air for many months. Its leader is Norris Stanley of the Norris Stanley Sextet, and its pianist Harry Engleman of the Quintet of that name. Ivan Hucker by, conductor of the orchestra, has had a baton in his hand from the age of ten, when he conducted his own amateur orchestra. As a youngster he was a regular ' promenader ', and completed his conductor's course under Sir Henry Wood. He gained much of his experience in a two-year tour of the country with music-hall shows, thereafter holding resident posts at Blackpool and Douglas. Isle of Man.
