Clever Young Performers
The youngest artists to appeart so far over "Station T.0.T." have been two little four-year-old girls, Négaire Thompson, who plays a piano-accordion nearly the size of herself, and Leigh Brewer, who is a clever tap dancer and singer. Leigh competed in the Wellington competitions last August, and won the Anderson Cup for dancing, and also a cup for the most promising dancer in the competitions. She has been learning dancing since she was three years old. Her singing is bright and spontaneous, and she picks up music by ear from the radio. When it comes to youthful artists, however, 2ZB. has a record which will be hard to beat. The youngest performer during a session the .other week was a small boy aged just two years and nine months. With very little prompting, he sang two verses of a song.
