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 )
Trained in both jazz and classical, Kenny Martyn is one of THE most respected clarinet players in the game, and an old mate of Colin’s. Kenny sits down for a Sunday morning chat about his life and his music. We hear him getting to play some huge Benny Goodman tunes from the original chart arrangements, plus, a touch of classical and some actual ‘live’ yodeling!
