Stanford's ' Songs of the Fleet'

This is indeed a gala occasion, for how seldom it is that the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult , collaborates with the BBC Variety Orchestra, conducted by Charles Shadwell , with Billy Cotton and his Band joining in! -to say nothing of Mac as Larry the Lamb and Reginald Purdell as Dennis the Dachshund, the parts they created in ' Toytown ', classic of London Children's Hour!
