Presenter:Colin Aitchison
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 )
Our 78s and album tracking this week takes us off in all kinds of musical directions. A classic ditty about chewing gum that we all thought we knew so well, is a little different in it's original form. Same for an early version of a hit strongly associated with Glenn Miller. Plus, listen to a top, moody and stylish sax feature from the Ken Mackintosh camp, and a massive early 30s hit about "the pride of our ally"! Plus, Colin has a hit single 'B'-side from the 50s.
