All the fake trendy enthusiasm makes me sick.

Originally posted by cloughie View Post...and Radio 2 and Radio Cornwall should revert to playing more 50s and 60s music as part of its mainstream weekday delivery instead of all to 80s and later pop music - apparently the woman ‘controller’ BBC Local radio has laid down rules to the BBC local radio stations to play newer music saying that older listeners should not be afraid to listen to newer music. I think that the Station’s controllers know more about the tastes of local listeners but obviously the one size fits all areas and the need to attract younger listeners and they assume that lver 70s if still alive are certainly in no fit state to make decisions or influence anything. I used to enjoy listening to both Radio 2 and Radio Cornwall - good presenters but unfortunately now littered with awful music.
I love the popular music of the 20s, 30s and 40s - luckily charity shops always seem to have excellent CD compilations covering that period. Those issued by Readers Digest are among the best and usually include extremely informative liner notes.

Phonotone Classic plays 1920s -1940s dance music: https://www.phonotoneclassic.com and 1940s Radio does 'what it says on the tin' : http://1940sradio.com
