Conducted by Clarence Raybould
Elgar's Overture ' Froissart ' was first performed at the Worcester Festival of 1890, and with it Elgar made his first appearance at a meeting of the Three Choirs. It was not, as may be thought, the result of a reading of Froissart's ' Chronicles ' ; rather was it inspired by recollection of a scene in Scott's Old Mortality', in which Claverhouse tells Morton of the delights of reading the old historian.

1—Devised by Jack Simpson and Sutherland Scott , with Jack Simpson , his Sextet, Betty Kent , and guest artists. Presented by David Miller
Jack Simpson , who formed his Sextet in May, 1940, joined the Royal Dragoon Guards when he was fifteen and was the youngest mounted drummer in the Army. With the Horse Guards Band he used to appear at Lord Mayor's shows and all the Tattoos. After twelve years' service, he took up dance-band music as a career, and has played drums, tympany, and xylophone with almost all the leading dance bands. In this programme he is flashing back to music popular a year ago.
