Steve originally is from the London area, but lived for much of his life in the USA and now for seven years resides in the Costa de Almeria. His background is hugely varied: from professional ballroom competitor and teacher, to computer programmer, to graphics and photography. Steve also produced and hosted specialist music shows on KPCC-FM Pasadena, California for three years and two more shows for almost three years for Valle Radio in Albox, Almeria.

 

Steve's interest in vintage music of many styles originated back in his teens, listening to the variety shows of Jack Jackson, Sam Costa and others on the BBC Light Programme. Since then, his tastes have widened even further and his show reflects a huge cross-section of musical styles from the 1920s through to the 1960s, and beyond if a track fits the remit!

 

You'll hear American and British big bands like Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Ambrose and Ray Noble; great vocals and some comedy, along with some lesser-known music from those eras. Some of the artists have been unfortunately long forgotten, but some are immortal: Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Shirley Bassey, Doris Day, Nat King Cole… and that's just some of the singers!

 

Tune in every Sunday from 6:00 to 8:00 pm for a magical ride through musical history. You'll be in for some great entertainment!
