Scottish Songs for St. Andrew's Night

Programmes Arranged for 1YA and 3YA

WHat will without doubt be a stirring entertainment has been arranged for St. Andrew’s night at 1YA, on Friday, November 30. ‘The occasion is also being celebrated at 3YA. | At 1YA the vocal numbers will be entrusted to the Savoy Octet, whose opening number will be "Scots Wha Hae." Many of the heroic songs of old Scotland will be sung, with a due admixture of the grave and the gay. There will be two Lauder numbers: "Tobermory" and "Roamin’ in the Gloamin’." The musie of the evening will be supplied in two instances by Piper J. ©. Cameron, but the studio orchestra will imitate numerous of the old Scottish airs, and it is quite possible that it will give a creditable rendition. THE Melodious Four, Mr. Jock Lockhart and Pipe-Major J. A. Paterson will be responsible for the Scottish items at 8YA. These items will comprise many of the old favourites-"Comin’ thro’ the Rye,’ sung by Miss Frances Hamerton; "Annie Laurie," by Mr. Russell Sumner; "The Land 0’ the Leal," by Miss Belle Renaut, and "Border Ballad," by Mr. T. D. Williams being among the songs. Mr. Jock Lockhart’s contributions to the programme will, of course, have much in the nature of humour-"The Waggle o’ the Kilt," "My Bonnie Jean," and "Just a Wee Deoch and Doris." The bagpipe music to be played by Pipe-Major J. A. Paterson will comprise two marches, reels, a hornpipe, and a jig,
