主持人: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 )
On this week’s show, a stand out recording made in 1927 by The Sylvians, Maxine Sullivan performs a fresh arrangement of a Fats Waller classic, we hear from Duffy Power, Rina Kitty and a dive into the mailbag dishes up a kickin’ Cab Calloway b-side.
This week to Colin chats with John Hallam, who's a collector of vintage instruments. We find out how he got started, and he'll be choosing some absolute Vintage Chart Toppers from the Mills Blue Rhythm Band, Paul Whiteman, Nat Gonella, Geraldo and George Evans, and more. As they go through the various brass instruments in John's amazing collection, Colin gets to see and hold the Hong Kong bugle!
