sung by Olive Groves (soprano)
Olive Groves won a pianoforte scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music at the age of sixteen, and when she left won the annual prize for the most distinguished student. She made her professional debut in Cologne with a juvenile concert party organised by her mother for the entertainment of the Army on the Rhine. Her first microphone appearance, in April, 1926, was the result of a chance meeting with a BBC official who remembered hearing her sing in Cologne ; since that date she has been a very popular broadcaster.

Like most other organisations, the ranks of the brass bands have been depleted by the demands upon players for military service and other works of national importance. Nearly a year ago when they were on the air, they were hoping to keep the flag flying as long as possible. And here they are, broadcasting again.
This band had the bad luck to be formed in 1913 and ceased its activities when most of its members a year later were called to the Colours. It was re-started in 1920 and soon won its way to the front rank of the brass band world. All its instrumentalists are employees of the firm. Bandmaster Leonard Davies. for instance. is a ledger clerk
