The Ritz Players, whose hcadqi'.arters are in Leicester. had thtir first Midland broadcast over three years ago, and have been on the air many times since. They were formed about ten years ago. Each player is an expert musician who can play several instruments, and four of them specialise in harmonising on trumpets. The combination has had summer contracts at the West Park Pavilion, Jersey, for several seasons ; in the winter it plays at many of the hunt balls in the Shires. One of its proudest memories is the occasion when it was engaged for the ball in connection with the Leicester visit of the King and Queen, who were then the Duke and Duchess of York.
