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 )
This week Colin is warming us up for the new year with some cool 78s and early vinyl to get us in the mood for ringing in 2025, Leslie Douglas sings of Happy Days, Happy Months, Happy Years, while Dean Martin complains about the cold weather, The Clark Sisters offer a Hot Toddy! And, we also open up the mail bag once again for some Hoagy Carmichael and Mario Lorenzi.

This week we welcome back to the show our old friend Tom Cord, who played drums with the Victoria Jazz Band, is a former member of the Royal Hong Kong Police, and is fluent in Cantonese...with a Scottish accent. He’s choosing a handful of sides that have meant something to him over years and chats with Colin about his time in Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s. Listen out for music from Earl Hines, Paul Whiteman, Chuck Berry, Nat King Cole, and... The Victoria Jazz Band themselves.
