[78-L] Singer on Early BBC TV

[Kristjan Saag]

Yeah,
In 1931 Mrs de Nys gave birth to her daughter, so either she took a 
time-out from the trio around 1931 or she replaced Peggy Cochrane a few 
years later. By 1933 Peggy Cochrane had her own band, The Troubadours, 
and joined Jack Jackson's orchestra in 1934.
