Music from the Palm Court
In 1952-53 and 1953-54, the violinist, Tom Jenkins, won the Daily Mail National Radio Award for Most Popular Musical Entertainer. The award was based on a poll conducted in depth across a wide section of the listening public, covering both radio and television entertainers. With an estimated fifteen million listeners in the 1950’s, it was hardly surprising that the star of ‘The Grand Hotel’ Palm Court Orchestra should receive such a formal recognition of his success. It is on this success and popularity, that the PCO returns to its annual Music from the Palm Court concert with wonderful melodies from the conductors large library archive to celebrate the great days of music in the spas and watering places of England! The PCO is the only large orchestra in the country presenting a full programme of Palm Court music, as often heard in only a small orchestra of three to twelve players.
Watch out for the instrumental solos!
