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!

We’re off to the islands this Sunday morning to join long time Radio 3 supporter and Lamma legend, Dan Peterson. Dan has chosen a collection of classic island songs for us, including a 1957 tune from a probably forgotten movie called 'Coconut Woman'. There’s mighty theme from another movie and stage show, this time sung by capitol records top money making female artist of the time. Colin and Dan try to work out the deep, meaningful lyric to Satchmo’s ‘song of the island’, and we round things off with Something Smith And The Redheads.
See you at the ferry pier!
