Sydney Lipton and his Grosvenor House Band play an excellent version of "Hey! Young Fella", with good work from both the brass and sax sections (and a nice swinging string bass). Guest Nat Gonella offers a brief vocal refrain (after Jack Plant's) and also plays an 8 bar trumpet solo after a fine hot passage by the saxes.

The personnel is taken from "British Dance Bands On Record".
