In 1934 Kay forsook the name of Kathleen Murray and classical piano-playing for Kay Cavendish and crooning.

She became soloist in his Concert Orchestra and broadcast with the ' Hugonotes ' before joining the famous Three.
Dorothy Carless has played the piano in serious concerts, has been a model, won a year's film contract in open competition, broadcast in a number of light music shows, and eventually married Eugene Pini , with whom she is regularly on the air.
