Short story:

Billed as 'Britain's Harry James' trumpet player Eddie Calvert walks out on to the stage of The Theatre Royal, Portsmouth, UK, in the show 'Record Hit Parade.' Unfortunately he can only apologise to the audience as he has a cracked lip and cannot play. The affliction plagues him for the next few nights, including shows as London's Finsbury Park Astoria.
