Album Notes

Felix Mendelssohn had one of Britain's most popular bands in the 30s and 40s. In the late 30s he became enamored with Hawaiian music and transformed the band into a Hawaiian style group complete with Hawaiian costumes and dancers and played music in Hawaiian style - often using genuine Hawaiian performers alongside British musicians. They were heard regularly on the radio, seen on early TV work, and made a long and fascinating series of records between 1939 and 1951.
