A new presentation of popular music
About a year ago Van Phillips made a big hit with his broadcasts with an all-star orchestra, and he has a unique reputation in this country as an arranger of dance music. This evening, with two orchestras, he is to give the first of a series of thirteen half-hour broadcasts. The broadcasts are to be given .weekly, .but. not necessarily on the same evening. For the next four weeks he will be on the air on Wednesday, October 14, - Tuesday, October 20, Tuesday, October : 27, and Tuesday, November 3.
His idea is to play popular tunes of today with his full orchestra of twenty instrumentalists and to alternate them
. with old favourites on his small string orchestra. And his broadcasts will make not only for contrast but for speed, for he will get fourteen" or sixteen numbers into his half-hour instead of the usual eight or nine. He believes Leslie Douglas to be one of the best dance band vocalists in the country'.
FRANK BIRCH
This is the first talk in the new series 'This Freedom of Ours', which Lord Macmillan introduced to listeners last week.Tonight, and on subsequent Tuesdays, Frank Birch, by telling the story of our freedom (which he points out, we always take for granted, except when it is interfered with), will put us in a better position to judge how much it is worth today.
These talks have been arranged particularly with the needs of Wireless Discussion Groups in mind. Listeners wishing to know more about Wireless Discussion Groups should write to the Education Officer at the nearest BBC station, and he will provide them with information on how to start a group, and also with a syllabus of this and other series of talks.
