Autorenporträt

The author is a retired university senior lecturer and experienced writer and public speaker on a number of topics, having had articles published on music, health, architecture, and transport history in British, Irish, Australian, and New Zealand magazines and in a German research symposium. This is his third biography (four more are due for completion in the next three to four years). In it, he has written about the life and musical achievements of his subject as composer for British films, revues, and musicals in 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s as well as being accompanist to popular singer/comedienne Gracie Fields and a pianist ability in his own right. The author has set this against the extensively researched personal, social, and musical background of his subject's lifetime especially during World War Two.
