Although Frank Olsen was only four years old at the outbreak of the last war, he had already begun music lessons. A year later he was organist at Holy Trinity Church, Grimsby, a post that he held for five years before being transferred at the venerable age of ten to another church. When he was eighteen he began playing the cinema organ at a picture house in Peterborough. Since then he has been stationed in the North of England and in Scotland.
