BAND
Sustaining its reputation for enterprise, the Gloucester Hotel has engaged a new dance band which is now playing nightly in the hotel's ballroom to the delight and satisfaction of its patrons.
Eight in number, the band, known as the Gloucester Hotel Music Masters, hos gained immediate popularity for its musicianship, snappy rhythm and ideal tempo. Swing is given its proper place in the band's nightly programme, sup- ported by a series of skilfully presented comedy numbers, and blended with strict-lempo modern waltzes, slow fox-trols
and tangoes.
