Programme of novelty numbers and solo pieces played by the BBC Variety Orchestra: conductor, Charles Shadwell, with Cavan O'Connor
Cavan O'Connor, well known to listeners for his singing in 'Irish Half-Hour', is every bit as Irish as his name, although he has lived for many years in England. He started to sing at the age of nine, studied under Sir Hugh Allen at the Royal College of Music, since when he has appeared in opera and sung with choral societies and concert parties. He was a popular entertainer on the Western Front during the last war. O'Connor sings not only in English, but in French, German, and Spanish, and many will remember his contributions to the popular 'Cafe Colette' broadcasts.
