and his Orchestra with Louisa Hayward
Louis Voss owes much of his musical success to the late Viscount Devonport, who, hearing him play at a school function at the age of twelve, became interested in the boy and thenceforward took an active part in his musical education. Soon Voss was studying at the Guildhall School of Music, where he gained many prizes and scholarships. After years of directing cinema orchestras, the arrival of talkies made him turn his attention to cafe and restaurant work, and about six years ago he formed his present orchestra.
with Constance Carrodus
Constance Carrodus , one of the most accomplished singers of folk songs in the country, was bom in Lancashire, and gave her first broadcast from Manchester some years ago. She studied at the Manchester College of Music, and subsequently became interested in character work and travelled extensively, studying the peoples of different countries and their songs. She brings to her singing of folk songs not only a beautiful voice but a capacity for entering into the character of the song in question.
