Contributed by Dave Bruce, who writes:-
 "Hotcha-Ma-Cha-Cha!" doesn't these days have quite the ring it presumably had back then. But, for all that, some good music and fine playing to be found on this 1970s MfP compilation of recordings by Harry Roy and his band made mainly between 1933 and 1935. I don't have the names of the band members to hand but discogs.com suggests they included:Alf Horton, Arthur Calkin, Basil Kirchin, Bert Wilton, Dave Kaye, Dick Boothroyd, Harry Goss, Harry Roy, Ivor Moreton, Jack Collins, Joe Arbiter, Maurice Sterndale, Norman White, Tommy Porter and Tommy Venn.BritJazz veterans will recognise Basil Kirchin's.
