  • Thanks a lot. I'm really surprised this does't have more views.

  • George Galloway played this as the sign out tune on his show last week as an ironic gesture (and without comment) on the state visit of Barack Obama to the UK. Very good, and song itself is both a wonderful artefact of its period (it is very significant that the date is 1940, and the song might not be without an ironic twist of its own) and really quite catchy. Thanks, Mr Phonomono!

  • l have often wondered what happened to John Firman..Good to see he kept in work at Regal-Zonophone through thick and thin after his great days of the later 20s
