Sydney Phasey, for long known as the Henry Hall of the North, was horn at Chatham, where as a youngster he was a choirboy. He had a musical background, his uncle being one of the world's champion trombone players, and his grandfather both a member of Queen Victoria's private band and a professor at the Kneller Hall Academy.

At an early age Phasey accompanied his father, a conductor of some note, to New York, and at the age of fourteen was playing violin solos at the Metropolitan Temple. Returning to England, he played under Sir Henry Wood and Sir Landon Ronald, and entered the cinema world just before the war. He has been in charge of orchestras at a good many big towns in the North, and in 1928 he became conductor of the New Victoria Cinema. Bradford. He left there in 1938 to become director of the Bristol Hippodrome Orchestra, with whom he gave his first broadcast in September last year.
