Reginald Porter-Brown, who has given so many broadcasts from the Forum Cinema, Southampton, and the Guildhall, Southampton, is also a church organist and has given recitals in concert halls and churches throughout the country. He has broadcast on four other organs: that in the Regal, Torquay, the BBC Theatre Organ, a private organ in Somerset, and the church organ in St. Marychurch Parish Church, Torquay.
Only twenty-eight today, he was the youngest of the four organists who opened the BBC Theatrp Organ at St. George's Hall, London, on October 20, 1936. In his six years of broadcasting he has made his signature tune, ' Oh, Mr. Porter ' as famous as his name, and receives fan-mail letters from all over the world.
A record of some songs this artist has made famous
Entertainment under the blue, with several star turns, on gramophone records
Written and presented by Giorgio R. Foa
Produced by Leslie Perowne
In this programme Giorgio R. Foa invites you to wander with him through little Mediterranean towns, across vineyards, over hillsides, and beside warm harbours, where, under benevolent skies, the people seem always to be making music. From the countries of the guitar, the serenade, and the mandolin come the melodies that you will hear tonight -great tenors such as Gigli and Tito Schipa singing operatic arias, the silvery concord of a mandolin band, the thrumming of a low guitar.
Throughout the programme you will be very much aware of the atmosphere in which such music is born, and there is half an hour's sure-fire entertainment from the first Florentine love ditty to the last sound of the sea washing the Mediterranean shore.
