at the Organ of the Granada, Clapham Junction
When Harry Farmer was still in short trousers he showed musical leanings, and was put under a teacher when only eight years old. At the age of twelve he played in a concert at Walsall Town Hall, where he was heard by the parish church organist. The organist was so impressed that he offered to teach him without fees on the organ of the church.
By the time Farmer was thirteen years of age he was playing regularly for church services, and had already broadcast two piano solos from the Birmingham studios.
A scholarship, won at the age of fourteen, gave him two years of tuition at the Walsall Institution, and subsequently at the Midland Festival of Music he won both first-class and second-class awards. Farmer's career as a cinema organist started when he was fifteen years old, and immediately he began to develop a different style of organ playing.

(First broadcast performance)
Although the flute is one of the most agile instruments of the orchestra and is capable of a very fair range of beautiful sound, it has been very much neglected as a solo instrument by composers. The most outstanding works in the repertoire are the two concertos by Mozart, the concerto by Carl Reinecke , and the lovely sonata for flute, harp, and viola by Debussy. One of the very few modern composers to exploit the flute as a solo instrument is Rutland Boughton, whose Flute Concerto will receive its first performance this afternoon.
