   CHARLIE KUNZ

  (1886-1958)

  One of the greatest dance band leaders of the 30's.
  was born in Pennsylvania but came to England in 1922
as a pianist in a small dance band.

He was to remain here in the UK until his death... he was such a distinctive and popular pianist
that he abandoned his orchestra to concentrate on his piano playing both at music hall venues
and the BBC.

Two of Britain's most famous female vocalists were with his orchestra in the 1930's, Dame Vera Lynn and Welsh songstress Dorothy Squires.
 

His most well-known crooner was George Barclay.
