Being excerpts from the repertoire of the famous Roosters Concert Party with Louis Dare , Septimus Hunt , Frederick Pain , Charles Harrison ,
Herbert Aldridge , and Percy Merriman
BBC Variety Orchestra and Male
Revue Chorus
Produced and conducted by Brnest Longstaffe
Septimus Hunt , Frederick Pain , Charles Harrison , and, of course, Percy Merriman himself were original members of the little concert party formed in Salonika during the last war. The Roosters cheered the 60th
(London) Division before their advance into the Bulgarian hills twenty-four years ago ; followed them into Egypt, set up as a stock company in Jerusalem ; made merry laughter echo along the Jordan valley as far as Jericho ; and have been famous ever since.
