Another chilled selection from across the genres and decades for a summer Friday evening. I was delighted that we supplied some of the soundtrack for Maureen and Tony’s 60th wedding anniversary party in Harlow. We played their favourite song, ‘All I have to do is dream’ by the Everley brothers and they danced around the room.

Glenn Miller – Chattanooga Choo Choo – the first ever record awarded a gold disc in the USA for sales. This was in 1941. Requested by Derek for Phyl.
