Ronnie Aldrich was born in Erith, Kent in February, 1916. As a gifted young
pianist, Ronnie undertook extensive musical studies, including a period at
London's Guildhall School of Music. Later he worked for the Folkestone
Municipal Orchestra in Kent before becoming a member of the Squadronaires.
After the disbanding of the band in 1964 Ronnie was employed as a musical
director for Thames Television. He also played piano and directed specially
formed orchestras for record dates and radio performances.
Now The Squadronaires are merely a fond memory but if you can recall the
Black-out, rationing, books, clothing coupons, the air raid shelters and the
siren in wartime Britain, you will surely recall also The Squadronaires who
did so much to bring welcome relief to war weary airmen, soldiers and factory
workers,the length and breadth of the country.
