and his Miniature Orchestra
Although Frank Walker and his Miniature Orchestra gave their first broadcast in the summer of 1938, Walker has been a radio favourite for many years. With his Octet, which he formed in 1927, he appeared frequently before the microphone in programmes of the best light music. A feature of these broadcasts was Walker's solo cello playing.
The Octet was, by the way, the first combination to play in the studios at Broadcasting House, when it was used for testing acoustics.
