at the Organ of the Plaza Cinema, Swansea
Tom Jenkins, of the Plaza, Swansea has broadcast considerably over 200 times. Last summer he broadcast tor the first time on the BBC Theatre Organ. His most painful memory is of his first broadcast to the Empire, when he was still suffering from a sprained ankle through falling down a flight of steps four days before. Determined not to miss the broadcast, he had the swollen ankle massaged every hour for four days, finishing up with a last-minute massage in the front seats of the cinema - and got through.

Hindemith's Cello Sonata in A minor. Op. 11, No. 3, is an early work. but marks the beginning of the composer's development along new lines. The work, consists of four movements linked to make two sections. The first section is particularly interesting, for towards the end the use of the twelve-note scale is in evidence.
