The Squadronaires

The Squadronaires, one of the leading British bands of the 1940s, first came into being in direct response to an executive decision taken by Wing Commander Rudy O’Donnell (Director of the RAF’s Central Band Wing) to recruit professional dance-band musicians.  O’Donnell rightly believed that dance bands would boost morale on a par with other military ensembles.

The Squadronaires also available on iTunes & Amazon MP3
