Bert Paige

Belgian arranger, producer, orchestra- and choirleader, born October 15, 1920 in Gent, Belgium - died October 9, 1987 in Laren, Noord-Holland. In 1943 he joined the orchestra of Robert de Kers as a trumpet player. From there he left for another dance orchestra, The Ramblers (1950-1957), while simultaneously making his mark as one of the Metropole Orchestra's staff arrangers as well as a freelance record arranger for several companies - continuing to work extensively in both fields until a serious illness prevented him from doing so towards the end of the 1970s. In the 1960s, Paige also had occasional stints as conductor of televised show programmes.
