Billy Thorburn led a group of players, hugely popular during the war, under the general heading 'The Organ, the Dance Band and Me', and the composition of the combo would vary according to the availability of musicians. Billy Thorburn played the piano in his inimitable way, and the organ, almost always played by Robinson Cleaver, was the Compton theatre organ in the EMI Studio number 1 at Abbey Road. Various singers appeared. I understand that the other instrumentalists were mostly session musicians who could sight-read their parts with minimal rehearsal, and that the recordings were normally note-perfect and made in one take. They made countless records.

Love the happy sound of this arrangement, a real foot-tapper.

Yes, you can see why it went down so well at the time and lifted spirits - despite the Luftwaffe trying to kick sh*t out of our dear old London .
