This is the first broadcast of the Campoli Trio-not, of course, the first broadcast of Alfred Campoli himself, who since his appearance before the microphone as a solo violinist in 1930 has been one of the most popular of broadcasters. He was for a long time associated with the Fred Hartley Quintet and the Serge Krish Septet, and only recently with his own orchestra. The gramophone records sold of these combinations run into millions. The Trio now performing is in the tradition of the one made famous by the late de Groot, and is already considered its legitimate, successor, as its popularity on the variety and cinema stage conclusively proves, to say nothing of the huge gramophone record sales. The music the trio plays is of the same' melodious and irresistibly appealing type as that rendered by the de Groot Trio. Alfredo Campoli is not, however, a violinist whom listeners should associate solely with the lighter kind of music. He studied at the Rome Conservatoire, has given recitals of classical music all over Europe, and was heard not long ago in the Brahms Violin Concerto broadcast from Bournemouth under Sir
Dan Godfrey.

A Special Appeal to provide wireless sets for Unemployed Clubs by An Unemployed Man
How much does your wireless set mean to you ? How much more would it mean if your days were passed in enforced idleness ?
Tonight an unemployed man will come to the microphone to remind you that there are still more than 1,300 Unemployed Clubs in the country unable to afford a wireless set. He will ask your help to enable them to do so.
