The Coventry New Hippodrome Orchestra was a musical ensemble that performed at the Coventry Theatre, formerly known as the New Hippodrome, in Coventry, England. The orchestra was conducted by William Pethers, who also composed some of the music for the theatre shows. The orchestra featured various instruments, such as violins, cellos, trumpets, trombones, percussion, and piano. Some of the orchestra members were also singers and actors who participated in the musicals and comedies that were staged at the theatre. The Coventry New Hippodrome Orchestra played a variety of genres, such as classical, jazz, swing, and pop. 

William Reginald Gardiner (27 February 1903 – 7 July 1980) was an English actor on the stage, in films and on television.He was also well known to radio listeners, and was known on the air for his amusing train and car noises.

Gardiner recorded a curious and eccentric classic called "Trains", which was regularly played on the 1950s British radio programme Children's Favourites. This record consisted of a tipsy-sounding Gardiner reciting a monologue, which he first introduced in the 1935 Broadway revue At Home Abroad, about steam railway engines (which he claimed were 'livid beasts') and impersonating both the engines themselves and the sound of trains running on the track. This latter he famously characterised as 'diddly-dee, diddly-dum' to mimic the sound pattern as the four pairs of bogie wheels ran over joins between the lengths of track – a sound no longer heard since welded rail joins were introduced. "Trains" was released as a 78 and a 45 by English Decca Records (F 5278) which remained on catalogue into the 1970s. At the end of the record Gardiner signs off with "Well folks, that's all: back to the asylum." He was summoned to Buckingham Palace to give a performance in person.

Billy Penrose (1925–1962, Brighton) was an English jazz musician who played piano, and trumpet. He formed his own quartet which played boogie-woogie music.

Billy played with a number of bands as well as forming his own quartet. It was while he was the pianist for the Lou Preager Orchestra that he formed his own quartet with Paul Rich (guitarist) and the bass player and drummer from the orchestra. They recorded six songs which were released on three records:

Boogie In The Groove b/w Lazy Boogie recorded March 1945, released May 1945

Boogie In Black And White b/w Billy's Boogie recorded June 1945, released September 1945

Harlem Boogie b/w Boogie In The Ballroom recorded March 1945, released October 1946

Benny Lee (11 August 1916 – 9 December 1995) was a Scottish comedy actor and singer. He started his career in stage roles, and developed a television and film career....In 1941, Lee was heard singing by Johnny Claes, a trumpeter who had recently formed a swinging dance-band called the "Claepigeons". He liked the sound of Lee's voice and signed him on as a vocalist. Soon Lee was singing and recording with many bands of the day, including that of Sid Phillips. 

Lee became sufficiently popular for him to be featured as a solo singer, rather than only fronting a band. As a crooner, he performed in over 2,000 broadcasts.....The Decca company came in with a contract and from 1950 he recorded such hits of the time as "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)", and "Down at the Ferry Boat Inn" with the Stargazers. Every type of pop song seemed to suit Lee, and he covered Guy Mitchell's no 1, "Pretty Little Black-Eyed Susan", and the Hank Williams hillbilly hit, "Your Cheatin' Heart".
