Item title reads - Bill Hall Trio - comedy musicians.
Probably filmed at Pathe studios, London.
Various shots of the Bill Hall Trio, which includes Spike Milligan, playing a unique version of "The Canary" on violin, double bass and guitar. One looks to be dressed like an undertaker, Spike looks like a hillbilly with big false black beard, the other wears a flat cap and looks miserable.
