When, at the age of two and a half, John Bee sat down at the piano and played the National Anthem there could have been little doubt as to what career he would follow.
At the age of twelve he received an appointment as church organist, and gave his first pianoforte recital just a year later. At fifteen he was organist at the Lincoln Methodist Church, which seats over a thousand people.
Bee served through the war, and afterwards resumed his organist's work, giving recitals in the northern and eastern counties. At this time he also ran a dance orchestra. He joined the Gaumont-British Picture Corporation in 1930.

The solo act ' My Piano and I ' has been as famous as Turner Layton himseM ever since he introduced it in 1935 on his partnership with his famous partner Johnson coming to an end. Although his compositions, such as ' Dear Old Southland', ' After you're gone ', ' Way Down Yonder in New Orleans ', and ' Strut, Miss Lizzie' are now regarded as classics) it is often forgotten that Turner Layton made his living as a composer of popular tunes before' coming to this country with Johnson in 1924. Layton, who is doing a non-stop tour of the principal halls of the country, will broadcast tonight one of his biggest hits in song-writing in recent years-' Home is Best '.
Randolph Sutton began his professional career on the sands at Blackpool thirty years ago, and has starred in every music-hall of note in the British Isles. He broadcast in the very, first radio Music-Hall from. No. 10 studio under Waterloo Bridge.
After his last broadcast on February 11 Georgie Wood received a letter from California saying that his duologues with Dolly Harmer are always looked forward to there. Once again this grand little comedian and inveterate worker for others is organising the Lest We Forget Association Disabled Men's concert which was missed last year, and it is good news that it is likely to be broadcast.
Another old favourite in Stanelli, of ' Bachelor Party ' fame, completes one of the strongest of John Sharman 's bills.
