This is probably the most novel CD we have issued as it is not centered around an artist, band or type of music but around London which, judging by some of the lyrics, was in the 1930s the centre of the universe. However, unlike places in the USA, there are relatively few songs about London from the golden age, i.e. 1920s, 1930s and the 1940s. However, we did find some splendid recordings and they are presented here. They embrace romance, comedy, jazz, and more. A unique CD

DVD: Dance Hall
The 1950 film Dance Hall features the bands of Geraldo and Ted Heath, and all the music comes from their repertoire, impeccably recorded and imaginatively filmed. The director was Charles Chilton who cleverly combines the romantic stories with scenes of 1950s social realism, played out in and around the dance floor. The score includes Goodnight, Sweetheart interpreted by Geraldo as a snazzy quickstep, a soupy vocal You’re Only Dreaming sung by Hy Hazell, and a New Years Eve celebration where the two bands combine in raucous versions of Tavern in the Town and Little Brown Jug.

DVD - Al Bowlly –the Lost Interviews
This is a new film compiled and produced by Tony Staveacre that incorporates recorded interviews with Al Bowlly's friends and fellow-musicians, parts of which were included in the 1975 TV programme Impressions of Al Bowlly. In 1974, Tony Staveacre tracked down Roy Fox, Ray Noble, Nat Gonella, Tiny Winters, Sid Colin, Joyce (widow of Lew) Stone, Joe Crossman, and invited them to share their memories of the great singer. They talk with affection and good humour about the Al that they knew and loved. They tell the whole story, there’s no need for a narrator. With photos and music, the film runs for 32 minutes.
