Johnny Rosen and his Band are one of the North's star turns in light entertainment broadcasts. Johnny has gone rapidly ahead and, while remaining in the North, has found for himself a radio position among the best dance bands in England.
For fourteen years he was
Jack Hylton 's first violinist. He has played everywhere ; he went to the Continent over a dozen times with the band ; and on one European tour he and the boys covered nearly 3,000 miles in three months-a pretty good record.
