Maurice Brown has made a great study of the songs they sing in the village inn, many will remember his rousing programme ' At the Eel's Foot'. He has set out in this new series to reproduce the voice of the tap-room in song, and he is making a start with northern England. Typical songs of the Lake District and the Yorkshire dales will be heard in this opening programme.

At the age of fourteen Maurice Winnick was playing in a cinema ; at twenty he was touring music-halls with his own band. Next he provided music on various liners, and made three cruises round the world. He studied dance music, and took clarinet and saxophone lessons in the United States, although the violin is his instrument and the one on which he leads.
He is now with his orchestra at the Dorchester. You may have heard them broadcasting on Sunday in the Jazz Jamboree from Kilburn.
