ENSA concert for war-workers, with Charles Ernesco and his Orchestra, the Southern Sisters, and Issy Bonn
The Southern Sisters are never idle in hunting up fresh material for their audiences, and they have been making a number of radio appearances during recent weeks, both in the Home and Overseas programmes. Since the war the trio has been what it describes as ' frantically busy ', touring all over the country and doing a vast deal of work for ENSA. There would seem to be nothing that the Sisters cannot tackle, as many may agree who hear them singing the Drinking Song from L-a Traviata today.
Issy Bonn is another indefatigable entertainer. During the last year he has appeared in numerous radio programmes, including ' Music-Hail ', ' Geraldo's Open House ', ' Happidrome ', and Henry Hall's Guest Night.
