on the Hawaiian guitar-a programme of gramophone records compiled by A. P. Sharpe
Len Fillis plays all manner of fretted instruments, but it is as an exponent of the Hawaiian guitar that he is best known in this country. Not only has he made a great number of solo records, some of which A. P. Sharpe is going to play this afternoon, but he has recorded with various combinations of his own forming.
A. P. Sharpe has broadcast programmes about fretted instruments on a good many occasions, and is probably the country's leading expert on this kind of music.
at the theatre organ
Kenneth Bygott made his first appearance in public as a pianist at the age of eleven. He began studying the church organ when he was fourteen, and held his first church appointment a year later.
In 1926 he first became a cinema organist, and was appointed solo organist at St. George's Hall, Bradford, where he stayed for four years. From 1930 to 1934 he was at the New Victoria Cinema, Bradford, and was then transferred to the Regent Cinema, Bournemouth.
He first broadcast as a pianist and an 'uncle' from the old Leeds studios about twelve years ago.

and his State Orchestra
From 1930 to 1937 Alfred van Dam and his orchestra were at the Trocadero Cinema, Elephant and Castle, and he used the appropriate signature tune 'Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road'. In December 1937 he and his orchestra moved to the Kilburn State Cinema on its opening, and changed his signature tune to 'The State March', of which he is part-composer.
The Kilburn State is one of the largest cinemas in the country. Many famous stars took part in the opening, including Gracie Fields, George Formby, and Carroll Levis.
