A programme of dance music styled in the ultra-modern way played by Ken Johnson and his West Indians with Don Johnson, Betty Kent, and the Johnsonaires
Compere, Leon Cassel Gerard

When forming his West Indian Dance Orchestra, which gave its first broadcast in January, 1938, Ken Johnson undertook a long search for talent through the West Indies. The fifteen members of the band come from Barbados. British Guiana, Trinidad, Grenada, and Jamaica, and all of them are British subjects.
Ken Johnson, or 'Snake-hips' as he has been called, was himself born in Georgetown, British Guiana, in 1914, the son of a doctor.
