[78-L] New Mayfair violins

[Kristjan Saag]

Listening to Vivian Ellis' "My Heart Is Saying" with The New Mayfair 
Orchestra (under Ray Noble, December 6th 1929) I'm surprised to hear what 
sounds like a violin "solo" played by more than one of the three violinists 
in the orchestra (they are Eric Siday, Reg Pursglove and Jean Pougnet).
Can anyone confirm? (The song was issued on HMV B5756 and is featured on the 
Saville Records LP "Harmony Heaven - The New Mayfair Dance Orchestra" SVL 
162.)
And how common was it that solos were played in unison in dance music at the 
time?
BTW: It swings quite nicely.
