Here is a 'reminiscence' programme with a difference. In this evening's broadcast, and in the five which are to follow it, Evelyn Laye is going to talk about her life, about the music she loves, and shows she has most enjoyed seeing and playing in, and about some of the interesting people she has met in her successful career. Evelyn Laye will, of course, sing some of the numbers which she has made famous, though it is her life, and her views of life, rather than a recapitulation of her stage successes, that will form the background to the programme.
