Can anyone identify this charming piece of 1930's jazz which to my ear sounds very English.

It was used by Radio Four for the adaptation of John Hadfield's delightful novel Love on A Branch Line. It was also used by the BBC during its coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show on 24th May 2010. I've uploaded a samll snippet to You Tube to see if it jogs any memories.

I think it is "The Clouds willl soon roll by".

The famous version is Ambrose but not sure if that is your version.

Here it is on YouTube

That song, and many others from the period, were used by Dennis Potter in his Pennies From Heaven drama.

Not sure if you can still get the audio CD, here it is shown on Amazon
