In a Little Garden (Whitemore – Iula) played by “The Sunny South Orchestra” Beltona 1120 (UK) – 78 rpm record Unknown vocalist. Brian Rust, in “British Dance Bands 1912 – 1939” (Rust & Walker, published by Storyville Publications, 1973) says that “Sunny South Orchestra” is a pseudonym for “Jeffries and His Rialto Orchestra.” He further states that Leslie Jeffries was a violinist and dance band director for various groups in London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh during the 1920s. He later became famous for his broadcasts from the Grand Hotel in Edinburgh in the 1930s, but these had nothing to do with dance music, apparently. Beltona Records was founded in 1923, and you can read a little more about it here: ) They seemed to release a lot of “folk” and popular music from Scotland. By golly, sometimes I feel that discographies are the bane of my existence. I wish everything was as easy to look up as the Original Dixieland Jass Band.
