From 1931 to 1936 Sydney Kyte entertained listeners and fashionable London with his dance orchestra at the Piccadilly Hotel. He then toured the country, only returning to London to play at the Carlton for the Coronation festivities. His tour was finally cut short by the outbreak of war. At a day's notice, he responded to an urgent message from the Mayfair, and helped to relieve the gloom of London in the days when the theatres and cinemas were shut.
His signature tune, ' Tune in, keep listening', was sent to him as an ordinary number by the composer and librettist, who signed their names Harry Pepper and John Watt. It was too good to miss.
