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, a drummer and orchestra leader seeing his musicians through their first recording session in 1937, for Bluebird records, a visit to the Savoy Hotel in London, 1927, and the last issued recording of the Savoy Havana Band. Jumping to the 1950s, we have a number one UK hit for a very young Cliff Richard and the Shadows, and we dive into the mailbag with a request for a very fine trumpet player covering Fats Waller.
