'COMM::eng' ('Henry Hall (& his BBC Dance Orch) \r\n' 'b. London, 2 May, 1898, d. Eastbourne, 28 October, 1989 \r\n' 'Theme songs: \r\n' 'Original: "Come Ye Back To Bonnie Scotland" \r\n' 'Later: \r\n' 'In Theme: "It\'s Just The Time For Dancing" \r\n' 'Out Theme: "Here\'s To The Next Time" \r\n' 'Overview \r\n' "Henry Hall is best remembered for the five year period in the 1930's when he " 'directed the BBC Dance Orchestra and was the most popular radio star in ' 'Britain receiving the largest fan mail of any broadcasting artist, but that ' 'was only part of a most successful career as bandleader, composer, arranger, ' 'impresario and broadcaster. \r\n' "As a youth, Henry worked with the Salvation Army's Musical Services " 'division. His formal musical studies were at the Guildhall School of Music ' 'and also at Trinity College. After WW1, he worked as a pianist in silent ' 'pictures theaters. \r\n' 'His first break came in 1922 when he joined the LMS Railway Hotel chain as a ' 'pianist and ten years later he was the Musical Director for the hotels ' 'controlling 32 bands. In the middle of 1924 he formed a band for the new ' 'ultra-grand Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, Scotland, and broadcast for the ' 'first time from the opening night ball. Henry made a few records for ' 'Columbia over the next two years but no real impact was made outside the ' 'hotels until Thursday 31 July 1930 when he made his first late night ' "broadcast from Gleneagles. (Note: From the late 1920's until 1936 the BBC " 'would broadcast live dance music between 10.30pm and midnight, six nights a ' 'week.) From then onwards Henry Hall and his Gleneagles Band was broadcasting ' 'practically every week. When the Gleneagles Hotel closed during the winter ' 'months, Henry would transfer to either the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool or the ' 'Midland Hotel in Manchester, and in this latter venue the band started ' "recording for Decca in March 1931. Henry's first record hit was his " 'arrangement MUSICAL COMEDY SWITCH (Decca) and on one of those first Decca ' 'sessions the innovative British jazzman Spike Hughes deputised on string ' "bass and probably Henry's jazziest record I LOST MY GIRL FROM MEMPHIS (Decca " 'F.2330) was the result. The Gleneagles Band broadcasts attracted a lot ' 'comment as the band was small for a regular broadcasting unit - about six ' 'musicians - which could hold an unseen audience for 90 minutes without a ' 'vocalist. Their signature tune was COME YE BACK TO BONNIE SCOTLAND. \r\n' 'The BBC were impressed and when their resident dance bandleader, Jack Payne, ' 'decided to leave to go on tour, Henry was invited to form a new BBC Dance ' 'Orchestra. Many in the London musical profession were shocked that a leader ' 'from "the provinces" had been given the prestigious job and music critics ' 'were scathing about the new band but Henry soon won the hearts of the ' 'British public with his fine music and quiet but engaging personality. Their ' 'first broadcast was on March 15th 1932 and was also notable for being the ' 'first transmission from Broadcasting House, London. Henry introduced his two ' "new signature tunes, opening with IT'S JUST THE TIME FOR DANCING and closing " "with the still warmly remembered HERE'S TO THE NEXT TIME. For the next five " 'years the Orchestra was heard most week days with regular daily broadcasts ' 'at 5.15pm, every Thursday on the late night spot, later alternating Saturday ' 'nights with the Ambrose Orchestra. With the BBC post came a new recording ' 'contract with Columbia and the band had an enormous hit in its first year ' 'with TEDDY BEARS PICNIC (Col.DB.955/FB.2816) which went on to sell a ' 'million. Henry realised that a lot of youngsters would be listening to his ' 'afternoon programmes and he introduced a lot of numbers like TEDDY BEARS ' 'PICNIC to appeal to them. There was something for all the family. \r\n' 'Jack Payne had established a hot rhythm style as leader of the BBC Dance ' 'Orchestra, but Henry decided that a radically different approach was needed ' 'to identify his band. Less emphasis on brass and more on melody (the new ' "1932 BBC band even sported a cello)!!. Henry's many vocalists included Val " 'Rosing, Les Allen, Kitty Masters, Phyllis Robins, Dan Donovan, Leslie ' 'Douglas, Bob Mallin and George Elrick. The band increased size over the ' 'years until in March 1936 there were 27 instrumentalists and vocalists. ' 'American Benny Carter was added to the impressive list of arrangers which ' "included the band's pianist Bert Read, Ronnie Munro, Phil Cardew and Burton " 'Gillis, the saxophonist who joined Henry in 1929 and stayed until the war. ' "Although few of Carter's scores were recorded, his work can be heard to " "great effect on I'M PUTTING ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET (Col.FB 1364), " 'BYE,BYE,BABY (Col.FB 1547) and ONE,TWO, BUTTON YOUR SHOE (Col.FB 1627). The ' 'BBC Band was at its glorious best between 1935 and 1937 when the band had a ' 'big sound. Surviving broadcast recordings show that the band would tackle ' "such material as STOMPIN' AT THE SAVOY while its Columbia records " 'concentrated on the popular songs of the day. \r\n' 'In 1934 Henry introduced a new presentation with his "Guest Nights" which ' "was to continue into the 1950's, long after he disbanded. The 'Henry Hall " "Orchestra' appeared in the 1935 film 'Music Hath Charms' which starred famed " "American songstress 'Hildegarde'. Over the years many of the great American " 'songwriters like Irving Berlin , Harry Revel and Mack Gordon, appeared with ' 'the band on air. On August 4th 1936 a half-hour programme featured the music ' "of Johnny Mercer with Mercer himself singing I'M BUILDING UP TO AN AWFUL " "LETDOWN, GOODY GOODY and I'M AN OLD COWHAND. This complete programme is " 'available on CD - "Henry Hall\'s Hour" Radiogram RGM 001- a real treasure. ' 'Henry made several trips to the States to learn about developments in dance ' 'music and he directed the music on the maiden voyage of the liner RMS Queen ' 'Mary in May 1936. However, Henry was a well-known supporter of British ' "songwriters and he himself had considerable success with his own IT'S TIME " 'TO SAY GOODNIGHT. \r\n' 'On 25 September 1937, The BBC Dance Orchestra directed by Henry Hall made ' 'its farewell broadcast and was back on air on September 30th as Henry Hall ' 'and his Dance Orchestra. The band went on tour to an enormous reception. ' "Apart from the Orchestra's starring role in their film MUSIC HATH CHARMS in " '1935, and a few appearances at the London Palladium amongst others, most ' "people hadn't actually seen the band perform. When Henry and the boys " 'arrived at the Central Station in Glasgow the police were called out to ' 'control the enthusiastic crowds. Over the next two years the Orchestra ' 'toured Britain and Europe and continued to record on Columbia. In 1938, the ' 'band visited Germany and played the National-Scala Theater in Berlin. \r\n' 'The band kept going during the war and for some years after until Henry ' 'diversified his activities and became a successful businessman. \r\n' '(These notes on Henry Hall were kindly supplied by Mr Peter Wallace.) \r\n' '\r\n') 'COMM:ID3v1 Comment:XXX' 'Henry Hall (& his BBC Dance Or' 'TALB' (Album/Movie/Show title) 'Henry Hall (& his BBC Dance Orch) ' 'TBPM' (BPM (beats per minute)) '96.118' 'TCON' (Content type, a.k.a.
