A String of Pearls
A String of Pearls
Dewi Griffiths presents music from the golden years of entertainment, Sundays from 9 AM.
Starting at 9.05am every Sunday morning, Dewi winds up the gramophone, changes the needle, and plays a selection of musical memories from the golden oldie section of the BBC gramophone library.
The golden years of entertainment cover from just after the arrival of radio in the early 1920s, to the change in popular musical tastes in the late 50s. They include the age of operetta, the fabulous years of Hollywood musicals and the swinging and sentimental sounds of the big band era.
Most of the recordings Dewi plays on the show are original LPs and 78s, but these days, musical nostalgia CDs are increasingly available.
