Sid Bates

Sid Bates was the Orchestral Librarian for the Goon Show, according to Ted Kendall [the remasterer of the BBC Goon Show CDs]. He appears on the BBC's programme logs presumably because he was not on the BBC staff and therefore was paid for his services to the show. Whoever put together the credits for the CD set must have seen his name in the programme logs and mistakenly included him in the credits as a performer.
