Henry Hall

Born:
Henry Hall (born 2 May, 1898 in London) was best known for conducting and directing the BBC Dance Orchestra from the 1930s to the 1960s. Hall's first job was at the head office of the Salvation Army, which he composed several marches for. In World War I he served with the Royal Field Artillery, and played trumpet and piano in the regimental band, but it wasn't until the British dance band era of the 1930s that he became a household name and broadcasting star. He died on October 28, 1989, at 91-years-old
