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
For the first show of the year, it's an all star line up, of course. Some big time orchestras featured, with Ambrose and his orchestra with Sam Browne, Abe Lyman and his California orchestra, The Duke... and more, as we swing into ‘26.

This week, Colin features the multi-instrumentalist Adrian Francis Rollini. He mostly played the bass saxophone, piano, and vibraphone, but in the 1927 recording we’re spinning this week, he’s playing something that looks like a sax with loads of buttons down the front, and making a very different sound. It’s a couesnophone or 'goofus', and you’ll hear it being played in 'vo-do-do-de-o blues'. We’re also travelling through time with Erskine Hawkins, The Kalin Twins, The Spanial,s and the man who clearly had a massive influence on Spike Jones; Mr Freddie ‘Schnickelfritz’ Fisher!
