The Gerard Singers, who provide one of the most unusual male-voice combinations on the air, came into being in August, 1937. It was originally Ernest Longstaffe who suggested to Maurice Gerard that he form a male-voice quartet that he could use in ' Palace of Variety', and the result was the formation of this group consisting of tenor, first baritone, second baritone, and bass. All four singers are heard from time to time as solo broadcasters. Gerard himself accompanies the singers and does all their musical arrangements.

A discussion between Lord Cadman and Sir Robert Burrows
Few more able speakers could have been chosen for this evening's discussion on coal and oil than Lord Cadman and Sir Robert Burrows. Lord Cadman, chairman of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, is one of the greatest living authorities on oil, and Sir Robert Burrows is chairman of the Lancashire Associated
Collieries, vice-chairman of Manchester Collieries, and an outstanding figure in the coal world.
The speakers will examine the history of these two substances which have so much in common. Of coal it may be said that the prosperity of Britain was founded upon it, while oil, in its manifold uses, seems to have an almost unlimited future.
