“And now we take you to the Palm Court of the Grand Hotel…” as the announcer used to say, introducing a programme of fine light classical and dance music from the Grand Hotel in Eastbourne, on Britain’s South Coast.
Today we take you back to the dance-halls of the early to middle 20th Century, from around the mid-20s to the 50s, characterised by the BBC radio series, Grand Hotel. We’ll also be hearing some classic big-band recordings and much more.
