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!

Among the goodies, this week, Colin tells us about the songwriters of a 1950s tune that are, now, more of a paper trail of where the money went, rather than a true indication of the people who actually wrote the song! We get all kilted up for the Eric Delaney band who go a roamin’ in 1956 on early vinyl still running at 78rpm. And, there's a 1936 recording featuring a wonderful, young, new singer… Vera Lynn.

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!
