Mid December greetings to all. Here’s a particularly swaggering, swinging selection from the war years and slightly beyond, including many of my father’s favourite tunes, including Tommy Dorsey’s explosive “Well git it!”, which must have blown his teenage head off www.mixcloud.com/breghroux/al...

Mid November, pre-chill warmth to one and all. Here’s a mixcloud look at the 1970s. This selection is poppier than normal but all the better for it with some fine Micky Most productions and quite a few of the adverts have the gruff tones of bluesman Alexis Korner www.mixcloud.com/rouxbregh/al...

Late Autumn greetings to everyone. Here’s a mix from one of my favourite periods in popular music, post war pre rock n roll. Big bands were having their last shout, and newer, leaner combos were taking over. Swing, C&W, R&B, Bop and Latin are among the goodies here www.mixcloud.com/breghroux/al...

Hot summers greetings to all. Treasures are to be found in this mix from the 1930s. Jazz goes from hot to swinging plus there’s some oddball sides. Fred Astaire was a fine vocalist, and lovely harmonies from the Mills Brothers and Boswell Sisters www.mixcloud.com/breghroux/al...
