Programme of gramophone records

at the theatre organ
Ray Baines came into the business through strokes of luck. Kitty Masters travelled from London to Manchester to give a concert and left her music behind. The promoter of the show remembered a little sixteen-year-old pianist who lived at Eccles, was a fan of Kitty's, and knew her music by heart. So Ray accompanied her not only for that concert, but for two years of touring after she left Henry Hall. On the halts he met Harold Ramsay, who introduced him to Sidney Torch. He became Sidney's pupil-assistant on the theatre organ, and then launched out as a soloist himself. Two years ago this gifted young man who is not much more than twenty was invited to join the famous Granada group of London theatres and is now one of their star broadcasting artists.

Evening prayers

Programme of gramophone records presented by Rodney Gallop
During his diplomatic career Rodney Gallop has travelled to many parts of the world, and in every country where he has stayed has made a study of that country's national music. He has collected songs and airs of every kind, and many listeners will remember his programmes of Mexican music.
When the Germans walked into Denmark, Gallop was there, and suffered a period of detention at their hands before returning to England. During eighteen months in a country which he describes as one ' linked to Britain by the sea that divides them ', Gallop studied Danish music. Tonight you will hear some of the songs most characteristic of Danish national feeling, and Gallop hopes that listeners in that oppressed and unhappy little land may themselves hear his records and realise that they are not forgotten. ' Danish Delight ' is the title of a book by Monica Redlich.
