Neil McLean (1895-1962) was a Gaelic tenor, prolific recording artist, and second director of the BBC's Aberdeen station, 2BD, from July 1924 to September 1930.
He won the Gold Medal at the Glasgow Mòd of 1921 and became a leading authority on Gaelic and Celtic lore, representing Scottish Gaelic at the Irish National Festivals as well as in Scotland.
Sir Henry Lauder ( 4 August 1870 – 26 February 1950) was a Scottish singer and comedian popular in both music hall and vaudeville theatre traditions; he achieved international success.

Bert Firman (born Herbert Feuerman; 3 February 1906 – 9 April 1999) was an English bandleader of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
In 1924, Firman became musical director for Zonophone Records (a subsidiary of His Master’s Voice) and in the following five years recorded over 750 sides for them. Throughout the 1920s Firman continued to lead his band from success to success, including a season in variety at the Alhambra Theatre, Leicester Square and the Coliseum Theatre..After the war Firman was set to lead a band in London again, but was annoyed at being asked to audition for the B.B.C. He therefore went to lead a band in Paris again, where he formed a band at the Bagatelle Club. The band, which included Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt, was to be his last.
