English orchestra leader and songwriter.
Born 19 September 1902 in Southampton, England.
Died 12 December 1974 (aged 72) in Southampton, England.
When the vocalist Dorothy Squires joined his band, he took it as an opportunity to write songs especially for her. Subsequently, many of them, such as "The Gypsy," "A Tree in the Meadow," and "I'm Walking Behind You," became hits in the United States for other vocalists. He was an accordionist and formed a number of accordion bands primarily The London Piano-Accordeon Band.
