Thank you. I remember my father singing along to an old 78 rpm vinyl record of this in the 1950.s....I never thought I would hear it again. Wonderful stuff.
My dad used sing like this fabulous so relaxing. Gracie recorded a few of their songs there on here they are good Bud and Gracie were good friends always a delight to hear these two.
Absolutely love this music.. does anyone know of any other pre-50s music with a similar sound? I would like to discover some more music from the first half of the 20th century, but am not sure what this genre would be called (if it has one). Is it a type of jazz? It reminds me a bit of "gypsy jazz" (although, of course, the resemblance is very small!). Thanks to Terencenunn35 for posting this gem!
Try war time songs as I know that Max Bygraves used to sing this. It is not quite big band either but you may like that too and you could try vintage films. I suppose this is a kind of tea dance music and music hall.
Have looked for this song for a lot of years. Thank you very much for sharing. A classic vid too. It looks as though it may have been made from a fifties radio show called "Workers Playtime". Does anyone know if that is the case?
Many thanks for the info. The one little query in my mind was the menu, did anyone really eat that well during or immediately after the war? I am still fond of telling my own grandchildren how we as kids argued over who had the top off our Dad's boiled egg at teatime. Still love the vid though, and the lady under the menu board at the end is truly beautiful.
I seem to remember being told that in cafes, you didn't need coupons, i.e. it wasn't rationed, except by price and availability. People at home didn't eat well.
The arches are the brickwork that holds up the railways as they come into London stations. They are still open in some boroughs of London. A lot used to be rented by garages. Look at the back of South Harrow station where they are still open and rented. The London Dungeon is built in the arches.
2021 luving this still

Apparently nostalgia, in judicious doses, is good for you ...

Bomtrab
you know the shame of it is they must have made no money at all in their prime because of wartime and post war taxes.
The video is an excerpt from a wartime 'propaganda' film,'Listen to Britain',made by the great Humphrey Jennings & released in 1942.
hi u
A good reply record but wat era? Presumably it must tie in with a railway closure as the trains would cease to be rumbling overhead.

@inya1lake When did the arches close? anyone know? they mentioned the Jubilee. Could that be King George's 25th in 1935?
The arches are the brickwork that holds up the railways as they come into London stations. They are still open in some boroughs of London. A lot used to be rented by garages. Look at the back of South Harrow station where they are still open and rented. The London Dungeon is built in the arches.
Theyre building flats whereThe Arsenal used to be.
The Arsenal - Highbury - was THE most atmospheric football stadium in all of London.
