The old Squadronaires remind me of their pianist(well they may have had more than one) whose surname was Dale, he was a York chap I believe. Was their signature tune "There's Something in the Air?"
Ronnie Aldrich was probably their best known pianist. If local boy Laurie Brown, who played with the Squads towards the end of their existance, reads this I will ask him about Dale.
This reminds me of when I was in the RAF (the last of the few) we had a corporal called Dale, an ex WWII veteran. He used to say to me, "The only persons I hate more than Japs and Germans are musicians."
Presumably a different Dale!
Liz, Lawrie remembered Syd Dale well in fact they roomed together. Syd, Lawrie recalls, had a big house in Bromley and also worked on TV in the "Oh Boy" show which was one of the early pop shows on TV
Oh brilliant, I was right then. I knew Syd's brother Geoff Dale, he was my age & we all went around together in courting days. He often told me that his bro Syd lived in some style down South..Geoff was very proud of him too. Thanks Lance/Lawrie for that.
Liz Hi yes spoke to Lance about many happy memories with the Squads and Syd Dale. Had a room in his house on Petts Lane in Bromley. After a world cruise with Geraldos Navy in 1963 on my return Syd got me the drum chair with the Cyril Stapleton Orchestra. Didnt like the London scene any more so came home to join the Bill Sowerby Band at the Majestic and later the BBC Radio Newcastle Big Band.Hey I could go on all day! Maybe I should write a book !!!!!!!!
Laurie, how nice to have your input into Syd Dale's career.I knew Geoff( his bro)really well, he was the nicest person, and came to my wedding. He was always the most studious of the lads we hung around with. I never really knew Syd as I think he was older than Geoff. You certainly have a great pedigree in your music career. The band shows on a Sunday night at York Rialto gave us the opportunity to hear all the greats, inc. Nat "King" Cole.
Kindest regards, yours in music
Liz
Nice comments guys, I am Ian Dale son of Syd who grew up in Petts Wood.
