Welcome to Swingalong which is broadcast every Tuesday between 12 noon and 2 pm on WOW-FM 100.7.
This is a programme of nostalgia for those who remember or have a liking for the music of the Swing Band era.
During the programme I feature some of the great bands of the era and some that are not so well known. It also contains some of the broadcasts from the period. In those pre television days the regular broadcasts by wireless direct from the venues were much anticipated. Most of the music played has been digitally remastered.
Who can forget the bands of Glenn Miller,Artie Shaw,The Dorsey Brothers,Benny Goodman and Bunny Berigan to name but a few. Then there were the crooners and band singers,Bing Crosby,Frank Sinatra,Helen Forrest,Martha Tilton, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holliday.
We also try to inform as to when and where these recordings were made because a lot of them are taken from the old radio tapes.
So come and join us on Tuesdays for lunchtime listening to the music of a by gone era.
The kind of music I play is still very popular in the U.S.A. and Europe. There are still Glenn Miller and Dorsey Brothers bands touring the world although unfortunately they seldom come to Australia.
