This interview was so much fun - as you will hear us giggling a lot, and a real insight to the UK music scene in the late eighties, early nineties. I learnt alot from Aston in this interview - so turn up the volume and ENJOY!!

This selection took a lot of digging and researching to find the right selection of music to conjure memories of eras gone by..here is my favourite selection of songs that represent the 30s through to the late 50s when war was going on and new styles of music were emerging that reflected the emotions felt by all. 30s Second World War and era known as the great depression. 1940s defined by World War II, the Holocaust, atomic bombs, and the beginning of the Cold War. 50s were recovering from the war.
NOSTALGIA
This podcast was an absolute joy for me to do! It has been a long time coming, and in my mind I have been planning it for nearly a decade.
It is an ode my dearest Nan, Muriel and also to my Father - my Nan used to walk around the house singing Peggy Lee and such and my Dad was a huge fan of Big Band.
The podcast will take you through my favourite singers, bands and songs from the 1930s through to the 1950s.
It took quite a great deal of digging, but was well worth it!
I hope you enjoy this in the FIRST series of NOSTAGIA PODCASTS.
I had to include this lovely message I got from Michael Masterton:
"Monica and I listened to your podcast and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I was in my early to mid teens (1954/1958) I found a great love for big band music and then modern jazz.I recognised many of the artists you featured and it bought back lots of memories. As a matter of interest I still have quite a lot of vynyl in my loft of Miles Davies , John Coltrane and other Jazz musicians. I wish you every success with your podcast , cheers Michael xx'
This is my first podcast and although Classical Music isnt my area of expertise, you could say that my musical journey started within the classical realm.
I did this podcast because although I am fortunate enough to do 2 regular radio shows a month where I get pretty much a free reign to play whatever music I like, there some areas I just never get the chance to delve into.
So this is that opportunity!
