Music aficionado and band leader Colin Aitchison presents the musicians who were the huge, million-selling recording stars of an often forgotten era.
Before Bruno Mars, there was Bing Crosby, before the likes of Adele, there was Billie Holiday ... and before Justin Bieber ... well, where to start!?!
There’s some terrific music and stories from the ‘20s, ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s, plus a few laughs!
Every Sunday, 8.30am-9am
A big number this week featuring a crazy all star line up, The Metronome All Stars, featuring the winners of Metronome magazine’s polls of the year 1946. By way of a slight contrast, we have a song from one of the biggest classical vocalists of the time, Richard Tauber. Also listen up for The Piccadilly Revels Band, Jimmie Rogers (with a little Hong Kong connection) And... the ‘Scatterbrain’ is brought to you by Arthur Young.

It's another all-star line up for our Easter parade this Sunday morning. Eggs all in one basket for Toots Thielmans, then it’s spring songs from Benny Goodman and Dick Haymes. There’s one for the kids of 1951 from Spike Jones, and Sarah Vaughan and Billy Eckstine are taking care of the Easter Parade.
