A cheerful mixture of rhythm and ridicule with Chick Farr and George Hughes (the famous comedians)
Norman Long (a song, a joke, a piano)
Robin Richmond (at the organ)
Oscar Rabin and his Band

Robin Richmond, supporting Oscar Rabin and his Band in this entertaining programme, is a young organist who gave his first broadcast in this country on September 13, 1938, but curiously enough he had broadcast from Schevening, Holland, ten days earlier.

He played for two years at the Trocette Cinema in South London, and later at the Granada, Brighton. He learnt the church organ while still at school, and when he was seventeen landed his first job, as assistant organist with the Streatham Astoria Orchestra.
