A description of recent events at sea
A weekly summary of Australian news, specially presented for Australians in this country and read by Colin Wills
in the College of Swing Knowledge
Written and produced by David Miller
An acrobat from a child, Billy Bennett ran away from the halls as a youth, joined the 16th Lancers, and became the canteen comedian. Serving through most of the last war, he was wounded in 1918 and sent down to the base, met Mark Lupino , fotmed a double act and worked it on the troops.
As he made the troops laugh then, so he will makJ those in this country laugh now, and tens of thousands of us who are not in the Services, when he broadcasts tonight. Billy has appeared in three Royal Command Performances, and has been a hit whenever he has broadcast.
Un programme Francais, pour les Francais, par des Francais
presents a jam session by the St. Regis Quintet
Compere, Charles Chilton
The St. Regis Quintet consists of George Shearing, piano ; Russ Allen , bass ; Ben Edwards , drums ; Chick Mayes , cornet ; and Harry Parry , clarinet.
Most of these boys have often been heard broadcasting with other bands, but for the last two or three months they have been playing together at the St. Regis Restaurant in Mayfair. They are expert in providing smooth, sophisticated dance music, but in this jam session we may expect them to let themselves go, and as all five are virtuosos of their instruments, Rhythm Club fans may expect something really worth while. Listen particularly for George Shearing , the blind pianist, who at the age of twenty has been acclaimed as the best swing pianist in Britain today.
