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!

This week on VCT : A collection of very popular 78rpm discs that were sold at hardware stores and news agents at very affordable prices across the UK. One of the biggest producers and sellers of these titles were Woolworths, and they came in a variety of novelty sizes, 6, 7, 8 and 10-inch sized discs, featuring names like Alfredo & His Band on the Edison Bell Radio label, Bertini & The Tower Blackpool Dance Band on the Eclipse label and, of course, many more. Plus, a big Hong Kong song from 1956 on the Embassy label.

A big number this week featuring a crazy all star line up, The Metronome All Stars, featuring the winners of Metronome magazine’s polls of the year 1946. By way of a slight contrast, we have a song from one of the biggest classical vocalists of the time, Richard Tauber. Also listen up for The Piccadilly Revels Band, Jimmie Rogers (with a little Hong Kong connection) And... the ‘Scatterbrain’ is brought to you by Arthur Young.
