We are, however, well aware of our continued contact through the medium of radio and recording, and it has afforded us great encouragement to realise how many good friends and well-wishers followed our progress in the recent B.B.C. Competition, “Let the People Sing.” We also know you have enjoyed our first long-playing record, “Road to the Isles,” and we are now very happy to say that within the next two months there will be issued a further two long-playing and also two extended-playing records. We have been, you will agree, not without task.
