Sidney Davey and his Players
Sidney Davey , who made his radio debut in 1931 when he was pianist and arranger
with Alfred Van Dam 's Orchestra, formed his players essentially for broadcasting. They were first heard on the air three months before war broke out.
Davey's idea in forming the combination was to present music of every type in contrast-a typical programme of his being, for instance, ' Song and Dance ', which presented every form of dance music interspersed by ballads.
