1st Scots Pipes & Drums ends.

In recent years, 1st Scots Pipes & Drums [P&D] gradually but steadily decreased in numbers as a result of an ongoing restructuring of the British Army. Latterly, the unit was relocated to the Pipes and Drums alongside 5th Scots (the former Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders regiment). 

George Van Dusen's recordings were amongst the best sellers of the 1930s. George used the title The Great Dutch Yodeller , throughout his long career, although his stage name disguised his East End origins. His songs have an infectious vivacity which still work today, despite yodelling being rather out of fashion. During the 1980's George Van Dusen was "rediscovered" and his song It's Party Time Again was in the pop record charts, remixed with a disco beat.

Early 50s British dance band singer. A Londoner, from Tottenham by birth, he was born in 1928.

The Savoy Orpheans were a British dance band of the 1920s. They were resident at the Savoy Hotel, London, between 1923 and 1927.

The band was formed by Debroy Somers, an ex-army bandmaster, in 1923. Both the Orpheans and the Savoy Havana Band were under the management of William de Mornys. The Orpheans were later led by the violinist Cyril Ramon Newton, and by the pianist Carroll Gibbons. On 15 June 1925, Somers conducted the Orpheans in the first British performance of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, alongside the Savoy Havana Band and Gershwin himself on piano. The performance was broadcast live by the BBC.

The Savoy Orpheans name was revived by the Savoy Hotel in April 2022, and Alex Mendham was appointed bandleader and musical director of the reformed group

Walter Glynne (4 January 1890 – 29 July 1970) was a Welsh operatic and concert tenor who was also a popular recording artist......as a recording artiste, and he became particularly well-known for his recordings of ballads. In 1921 Glynne gained a recording contract with HMV.
