1 Hour of 1930’s British Dance Band Music

A compilation from my own collection of original 78RPM records.
This is a first for me so forgive me for the shoddy editing and sound quality, I've yet to learn how to digitally restore them!
Despite the video quality there's some rare gems in there not available to hear on the internet elsewhere so well worth a listen!

My mom was born and raised in Philadelphia (1928-2007), but when I played a CD of British dance band music for her, she exclaimed, "This is music I used to hear on your grandma's old Philco when I was little!" She hummed along with a few tunes.

My father was born in the 1920s and loved the pre-war British Dance Bands. He died some years ago but I seem to have acquired the same interest. Beautiful music from a classic period of British history.

I have had an interest in what was once was life going back to my memories of my parents and their records sadly lost in time. This was their time. I was born in 1944.

Went to London in 1936, a photographer from Texas and returned in '42 as a soldier. God save the King!

[@MOGGS1942]

@@beverlybradley5485 " that pesky Hitler chap". At least he was elected into office, unlike the pesky Windsor chap referred to by imelmedina.

Great music, but who`s the beautiful painting..?

[@adrianwalker2833]

Although your comment is now a year old... It is George Hyde Pownall and it's a picture of 1910. It's relatively small, only 15 by 24 centimeters. He made several depictions of Piccadilly Circus.
