Greys Palm Room

[Suze]

My Mum used to sit and have lunch ..plus silver service in Grays Palm Room in the late 1940's when music would be played .
Apparently Semprini played there once,but Mum can't remember the surname if the violinist...Henry.
Does anyone have any memories of a gentile time gone by?...but especially Henry's surname ...its driving her to distraction!

Thanks

The only Henry I remember my Mom mentioning was Henry Mancini, but I think he was a pianist and conductor. My Mom loved Semprini Seranade on the radio.
