BANDS AND BALLADS
Sir,-An old bandsman, I have been listening in to 1YX for years to their Bands and Ballads programme on Wednesday evenings (8.0 to 9.0 p.m.). As usual on January 29 I tuned in. The announcer said, "Now we have a Bands and Ballads programme;" and _here’s what we got: Wireless Military Band, two songs by R. Newell, then two Band Marches (we were not told what band), and two tenor solos sung in French, I then waited to hear the next band, and nearly fell out of the chair, for it was a piano solo by Eileen Joyce; the next ballad was the Cossack Choir, and the last "band" was a violin solo. Surely the announcer or the programme arranger knows the difference between a brass band -and a piano, and a violin.
