Phillip Sear plays the published (1960) piano arrangement of Trevor Duncan's 1958 hit orchestral piece.
-----------------------------------------------------------
'Trevor Duncan' is actually a pseudonym for the British composer Leonard Charles Trebilcock (later Trebilco: 1924–2005).  He was largely self-taught as a composer, and worked as a sound engineer for BBC Radio until 1956, when he worked full-time as a composer.  This light orchestral piece gained popularity in the UK when it was used by the BBC as a theme tune to a BBC TV adaptation of Francis Durbridge's 'The Scarf' (with Donald Pleasance) in 1959.  This presumably prompted the 1960 piano arrangement.  I have amended this very slightly to incorporate the 'echoes' of the theme that appear in the opening bars of the orchestral version - I can't think why they were omitted from the piano version.
