Percy French
"HE BBC programme on Fercy French was an example of the popular programme at its best. It was pleasingly compered by the composer’s daughter, which gave the opportunity for a much more warmly personal presentation than a stranger could hope to achieve. Miss French’s statement, "It was Father’s ambition to play the banjo really well," might have sounded footling or false from other lips. And even the more ~ephemeral of the musical illustrations tended to make modern Tin Pan Alley sound. melodicallv at least, even tinnier.
