Fiji Auditions for Australian Radio Programmes

In July, the Australian Macquarie Radio network recorded Amateur Hour programmes in Fiji-the first time this had been done out side Australia. Previously the network's talent scout, Mr. Clifford Arnold, auditioned would-be performers in Broadcasting House, Suva. These two bands were taken on that occasion. On the left Alf Bentley's Sextet which plays "music of the South Seas". And on the right, a group of Indian musicians.

The recorded programmes will be broadcast over the Macquarie network in Australia on September 5, 12,and 19 at 8 p.m.

The programmes were broadcast in Fiji between mid-July and August 1.
