Leonardi has broadcast from Bournemouth for some two years, and endeavours to create a definite personality about his Orchestra in justification of its title of Wiener Orchester.
The aim is not to exploit Viennese music as such, but to play all kinds of music in the Viennese style.

Tommy Matthews , whose ' Swift Serenade' programmes have been running for some four years, first broadcast in 1935 with the BBC
Northern Orchestra, in which he was a violinist. The ' Swift Serenade ' series started in the North, and since 1936 has been featured in the main
Regional programme.
Matthews left the BBC Northern
Orchestra in 1938, and has been free-lancing ever since. He makes a great feature of nursery rhymes arranged in modern style, sometimes in dance-music rhythm and sometimes as sophisticated straight music. There are twenty-four instrumentalists in the orchestra, for which Matthews, as well as conducting, does the classical arrangements.
