Olive Groves and George Baker present another informal programme of gramophone records
Olive Groves and George Baker have both had years of professional experience in the musical world from which to draw the material which makes these programmes the pleasant affairs they are.
Olive Groves won a piano 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.
George Baker has sung all over the world, and was for years closely associated with Gilbert and Sullivan in this country. He has been broadcasting for years and has made many recordings.
