   The whole British Light Music scene could do with reliable cataloguing and discographic research. Too many blank spots. Sidney Torch’s recording, marginally slower than Williams’ own version (Columbia, released 6 January 1953), shows the evident care he took to get his Concert Orchestra playing at their best – with clarity, solo distinction and crisp attack/ensemble. Good musicians, typical of the post-war London scene.

     Another Ernest Tomlinson is needed!!!
     ‘In 1984, after discovering that the BBC were disposing of their light music archive, Tomlinson founded The Library of Light Orchestral Music, which is housed in a barn at his family’s farmhouse near Longridge in Lancashire. The library currently contains around 50,000 pieces, including many items that would otherwise have been lost.’
