Tony Bradley
Hello,
I’m Tony Bradley and in my day job I work as a teacher. I enjoy many types of music, but especially the music of the dance bands which I have been collecting and enjoying for thirty-five years. It will be a great privilege to share some of this music with you.
I shall be presenting a show entitled Dance Band Days on Thursday’s from 8pm. The show will recall the wonderful music and vocalists of the dance band and the big band era, that is the 1920’s to the 1950’s. The show will also feature some of the modern dance bands that perform in the style.
Whether young or old, I hope you can join me in listening to the best of the romantic and swinging sounds of Ambrose, Geraldo, Roy Fox, Lew Stone, Carroll Gibbons, Jack Jackson, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, plus many more in what was and still is a Golden Age of music.
For our November broadcast I shall also be presenting Rock 'n' Roll Party, from 8 pm until 10pm on a Friday evenings. The show will feature the original rockin’ sound of the 1950’s, both old and new. As the song says, ‘rock and roll is here to stay’. Fifty years on the rockin’ sound is still with us and sounding as good as ever. It’s all here, Rock, Doo-wop, Blues, Rockabilly, the hits and the rarities. So, get out the blue suede shoes and put your jive clothes on - and join us here at Thornbury FM to enjoy some good rockin’ music.
