and the Cuban Caballeros
Presented by Elizabeth Cowell
Who is Don Felipe ? This question has been asked very frequently ever since this combination first came on the air. The answer is Phil Green , the accordion-player who has played regularly with much success in the BBC Salon Orchestra and been responsible for the ' Rhythm on Reeds' programmes, which are so highly regarded by highbrow jazz connoisseurs.
Listeners may remember that
Phil Green was the mysterious Joe Paradise , the band-leader whose identity was kept secret for some time.

Perhaps no broadcaster has the gift of instilling in his listeners cheer and reassurance quite to the same extent as John Hilton , who made his name with his weekly chat This and That' to unemployed listeners nearly six years ago. His talks last year on events of the week drew the same big audience and mail, as did the weekly article he contributed to the News-Chronicle under the heading of ' Life '.
The keynote of this series to the Forces, whether they are in the East, or on the seas or in camp in parts of Britain far from their homes, is to keep them from worrying about their people-to give them news concerning things, or to explain legislation affecting them, or something of the kind.
