J. H. Squire
J. H. Squire has been known to listeners since the early days of broadcasting as the leader of the record-breaking Celeste Octet. Before he became a musician, however, he seems to have had a singularly eventful career. Readers of his recently - published autobiography, ' ... And Master of None', will remember that he went to sea when little more than a child, and after various adventures found himself enlisted as a trumpeter on one side or the other in a South 'American revolution (he was never sure which side). The consequence was the adventure that he will recount today.
