so a name like Hope-Weston was pushing the English image too hard So the radio station borrowed the name of a Cleveland disc jockey named Tommy Vance and bestowed it on him Tommy Vance (27) son of an electronics engineer hates the word disc jockey and all that it implies he says: would rather live under the banner of He acknowledges that to most of the public disc work is money for old rope But he points out that it requires a lot of field work around the London clubs keeping up with the new sounds He is rarely in bed before 6 am which may not sound too bad to a lot of people Nevertheless Mr Vance points out that it is not a job for those seeking security and a pension "Do you know the two most hazardous areas in show he asked "Being a disc jockey or a prima ballerina are plenty of jugglers and comics in work But disc jockeys and prima ballerinas there so many of them nnHE new six-week series for A ATV is something of an anniversary celebration for the group It was 10 years ago that they got their break on the radio version of Opportunity Knocks and were signed for 26 weeks on the Eammon Andrews programme Since then they have become in a way victims of their own success Con Cluskey explained how they would likb to branejh out and perform with some new material But very he said When we do cabaret we always fill the house The problem is emptying it if we sing and all-the other hits that people expect to But while The Bachelors continue their script-hunting fans can sit back and enjoy their series which will feature such guests as Georgie Fame Lulu Sandie Shaw Sacha Distel Millicent Martin Nina and Sheila Bernette said Mr Cornish the time we go into the studios on Wednesday we are only hours away from recording the show for transmission on Thursday evening" With so many artists technicians and dancers on the floor something like 100 people waiting for direc tions the producers have to get things moving quickly Nevertheless the end product looks great fun on the screen And it is agrees Mr Cornish despite the weekly hustle try to create a party spirit among the dancers We have a half-hour warmup before we record and we continue afterwards record ing artists for future Tickets for the show are sent in bulk to organisations where there are plenty of young fashion conscious youngsters For example fashion and modelling schools and air hostess training centres Cornish and Dorfman pride themselves that they recruit some of the best-looking youngsters in London have a hard core of young dancers who appear every said Mr Cornish not often that we can include youngsters who come along on spec to appear But always a queue of them waiting outside the BBC TV Centre on Wednesday The pop public are much cooler about performers today There is none of the hysteria of five years ago have been able to have had John Lennon in the studio as we did the other' week without a lot of security said Mr Cornish from the quiet time we had John might as well have been Russ Conway as a Beatle" I One thing of the Pops' is never short of: new records The producers are snowed under with about 25 new discs a day and enough calls from pluggers of new releases to jam a telephone exchange got about a dozen telephones in- our office and they never stop ringing The secretaries try to weed out the calls but impossible with so many phones Their best films OLDEN
