A personal choice of records
Presented by Elizabeth Cowell
played by Teddy Foster and his Band
In his early days Teddy Foster experimented with the piano, with the drums, and with the trombone, his progress being so good that he joined Percival Mackey 's Orchestra as a trombone at the age of nineteen. In the meantime he mastered the trumpet, and three weeks later had an opportunity of going to Holland with his own band (in 1929). He jumped at the chance. On returning to England he formed a band for Tony's Ballroom, Birmingham (in 1932), and gave many a broadcast on the Midland Regional wavelength. It was about this time that his husky-voice singing (now famous) was first heard. He has appeared on the stage as a solo artist and has also played with Billy Cotton and Ambrose, whom he left about four years ago. About a year ago he formed his own band.

Compere, Leon Cassel Gerard
When forming his West Indian Dance Orchestra, which gave its first broadcast in January, 1938, Ken Johnson undertook a long search for talent through the West Indies. The fifteen members of the band come from Barbados. British Guiana, Trinidad, Grenada, and Jamaica, and all of them are British subjects.
Ken Johnson, or 'Snake-hips' as he has been called, was himself born in Georgetown, British Guiana, in 1914, the son of a doctor.
