Alyn Ainsworth (24 August 1924 – 4 October 1990)[1] was a British musician, singer and conductor of light entertainment music.
[2] Born in Bolton, Lancashire, England,[2] he was educated at Canon Slade Grammar School on a scholarship but never completed his education there, as Ainsworth was recognized by Herman Darewski at the age of 14 and allowed to tour with his dance band as a boy soprano.
He then joined Oscar Rabin's orchestra, where he both played with the band and did musical arrangements; they also broadcast on the radio.
[2] Ainsworth also worked with Geraldo, but turned down an offer from Val Parnell to conduct the London Palladium Orchestra.
[2] Ainsworth achieved a huge degree of success with the BBC NDO, whose reputation as one of the top bands in the UK was in no small amount due to his hard work and high standards.
