Hubert Gregg - Thanks For The Memory - 25th November 1991

[@TheMarkEH]

I was a regular listener to "Thanks for the Memory" and this is a fabulous reminder of the kind of programme that I loved. In fact, I used to spent hours listening to much of the BBC's output but, unfortunately, I can no longer relate to our national radio corporation. I guess that they have left me behind. Thank you for creating/posting this video.

Ah the memories. Many thanks for all your hard work on these programmes you're bringing back for us. It's hugely appreciated.

Thank you very much for this, it brings back great memories for me, I would tune in ever week on an old valve radio and listen to it with my wife. The only bit we weren't too keen on was when Hubert sang a song himself.

Brings back some lovely memories..as a teenager developing a love for swing and dance band music in India in the nineties these programmes used to be a lifeline..the BBC had such stalwarts in presenters in those days..today it's a sad mockery of a broadcaster. A big thanks to you for posting these links to a vanished era

Did you get these programmes on the BBC World Service?

[@sayantanigupta2131]

Yes. My staple in those days.

Peter Clayton's Jazz for the Asking was another good show

Thanks for this upload, I was an avid listener to Hubert Gregg every week. I even got a mention once ! If I remember right I was spoken of as a 'Younger' listener at the time. I wrote in to him , also Alan Dell and Malcolm Laycock. I feel we have lost a great deal from live Radio today, as I commented recently on one of your other uploads. The BBC today offers nothing of interest to me. Best wishes Brian

Radio 2 was my favourite radio station for years and years. I can't remember when I last bothered to tune in.

The BBC always had great presenters. I used to listen to BBC World Service on shortwave starting nearly 60 years ago.
