Report on the Autumn 2015 meeting of the London Light Music Meetings Group at the Lancaster Hall Hotel London W2

It was Sunday 11th October and time for another get-together of the LLMMG - our fourth. About sixty people attended, and we were pleased to welcome a number of members of the Light Music Society - no doubt wishing to give support to their Chairman, Gavin Sutherland, who was our special guest for the afternoon.

Tony Clayden welcomed everyone to the meeting, opening with a recording of the McHugh-Dubin composition South American Way,from a series of recordings which Bob Farnon made for ENSA towards the end of WW2. This was taken from one of several CDs which the late David Ades generously made available to the LLMMG for our first meeting in May 2014.
