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
The Modernaires set things up this week, when they break out The Jingle Bell Polka. Colin dips into his Christmas collection to bring us another bumper pack of festive tunes from the 20s to the 50s, including a full-on tearjerker from Phillis Robins, and all out laughs with Homer And Jethro. Plus, listen to The Hoosier Hot Shots and the cast of the movie White Christmas (in VistaVision!).

A slightly different show, this week, a wild one at that, focusing on the distinctive tones of the banjo, the mandolin, the ukelele and the tiple……yes….the tiple…..but, be prepared for a truly dazzling display of mighty talent captured in Colin’s Sunday morning collection. These musicians are going to shake up your playlist! Harry Reser, Roy Smeck, and doing things on an instrument you’re simply not supposed to do, Arthur ‘boogie’ Smith. Also, listen up for The Cats And The Fiddle, and, performing an outstanding take on “lover come back to me”, the one and only… Lee Plink Floyed!
