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... a classic tv theme from Don Ralke, from 1959, is a highlight of our collection. It’s Sonny Greer & His Memphis Men for a Saturday Night Function, and, taking on the role of teacher, is Dinah Washington. Plus, Colin brings you Tommy Dorsey, David Whitfield, and the fabulous Bea Booze!

In a VCT first, Colin does a musical shout out to his cat! It's a long forgotten Chart Topper from Joy Nichols and Benny Lee. We feature a terrific side from the outfit put together in France in the 30s by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, The Quintette du Hot Club de France.
And, entering through The Green Door in 1956 is Jim Lowe. Also, listen up for the wonderful Pickens Sisters from 1934.
