A programme of national and seasonal music introduced by Frank Gillard. Produced by Desmond Hawkins
From Belfast. Bristol, and Birmingham, from Cardiff and Manchester, Scotland and Newcastle, the microphone brings some of the rich variety of festive dances, songs, and marches that gladden the United Kingdom at Christmas. Singers and instrumentalists, bands and choirs, unite in a swiftly changing medley, ranging from massed flute bands in Ireland to a mouth-organist from a Mendip village
