Summoned by Bells The composer
Albert Ketelby was described as "the undisputed king of light music of the British
Isles". In the years between the wars, his successes with works like In a Monastery Garden and In a Persian Market made him a rich man. His music was heard everywhere - on the radio, at the cinema, on the bandstand. But little is known about Ketelby himself. Ken Russell presents a portrait of his life and music, drawing on the few surviving letters and the vast recorded legacy. With John Turner as Albert Ketelby , other parts taken by Hetty Baynes and David Collings.
