But, around 1930, she became part of a close harmony trio The Cavendish Three, which toured Britain and broadcast, notably on ITMA, shortly after the war began. Kay entertained for ENSA and appeared on a variety of BBC variety programmes; but she is best remembered for "Kay on the Keys", a programme of piano and vocal solos, mixing (light) classical, jazz and popular music which ran to over 400 weekly broadcasts. Kay was a brilliant improviser and her signature tune, Kitten on the Keys, derived from a student exercise of hers."
