Sidney Davey formed his players essentially for broadcasting. They were first heard on the air three months before war broke out. Led by Norbert Wethmar , they were an ensemble of nine: two violins, viola, cello, bass, flute, clarinet, oboe, and piano, the latter played by Davey. His 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.

Sound pictures and interviews with women while they 'go to it' in munition factories.

Impressions of a village event by Lavinia Derwent
Produced by Moultrie R. Kelsall
No gardens in Britain are lovelier or more lush than those of the Scottish
Border country. The turf in these parts is as fine as that of Cumberland, and Border roses have a glory all of their own. This evening Lavinia Derwent , well-known contributor to the Children's Hour, will present an impression of a country flower show-that most British of all summer institutions-somewhere in the Borders. The flowers, of course, have their place, but in these days they must give way here and there to the wartime vegetable.

at the theatre organ
G. T. Pattman , who broadcast over thirty times on the BBC Theatre Organ, must be one of the very few theatre organists who was previously organist at a cathedral. He was for twelve years at St. Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow, up to 1915. Pattman was one of the first to tour the halls with an organ specially built for the purpose. He has held appointments at most of the West-End cinemas.
His signature tune is The Lincolnshire poacher', which he no doubt chose because he is a Lincoln-shire man himself.
