Eda Kersey is practically a self-taught violinist. After a year or two's tuition she developed her playing by studying and by constant attendance at chamber and orchestral concerts at which great violinists were playing. When fourteen years old she heard Kreisler, and from that moment set her heart on being a concert soloist. She gave her first concert two years later.
She obtained her first really important engagement in 1925 when she played the Mendelssohn Concerto at the old BBC Bournemoath studio. In 1930 she played the Beethoven and Brahms Concertos at the Proms, and a year later did a tour of Holland. She has been broadcasting for the past thirteen years.

The Scene is Hareford Hall
The cast includes
Teddie St. Denis
Wallace Lupino
Doris Rogers
Betty Frankiss
George Gregory
Martin Gray and Lupino Lane with full supporting company
George Windeatt and his Orchestra from the Victoria Palace
Compere, Charles Brewer
This popular musical comedy will probably need little introduction to the majority of listeners, for its big hit ' The Lambeth Walk ' has scored one of the most remarkable song successes in recent years.
Tonight's broadcast will celebrate the thousandth performance of the show, which shares the distinction with only nine other West-End hits since 1875. Me and My Girl opened in December, 1937, and looked like being a failure, when a broadcast from the Victoria Palace sent the public rushing to see it.
This evening you will hear two scenes from the first act. In the first Lupino Lane as Bill Snibson is being taught society etiquette by the Duchess, and in the second the terrace of Hareford Hall becomes the setting for the first introduction of the Lambeth Walk.
