Calvert was born in Preston, Lancashire, England and grew up in a family where the music of his local brass band featured highly. He was soon able to play a variety of instruments but was most accomplished on the trumpet. At the age of 11 he joined the Preston Town Silver Band. After the Second World War, invalided out of the Army, he borrowed money from his father to get his first job in a Manchester band and graduated from playing as an amateur in brass bands to professional engagements with popular dance orchestras of the day, including Geraldo's plus Billy Ternent, and he soon became renowned for the virtuosity of his performances. Following his exposure on television with the Stanley Black Orchestra, an enthusiastic announcer introduced him as the "Man with the Golden Trumpet" – an apt description that remained with him for the rest of his musical career.In total, we tracked 53 items since 01/09/2012.
