Radio Hits of the 50s celebrates the golden age of popular music before rock ’n’ roll arrived and changed everything. This was a time when the radio ruled the living room, voices were smooth, melodies were king, and songs were crafted to charm, comfort and uplift. From velvet-toned ballads to upbeat, light-hearted favourites, these were the records that families gathered around the wireless to enjoy night after night.

Drawing from both sides of the Atlantic, the show features the great American radio stars such as Perry Como, Guy Mitchell and Frankie Laine, alongside much-loved British voices including Frankie Vaughan, Tommy Steele and Lonnie Donegan. Stylish, nostalgic and full of warmth, Radio Hits of the 50s captures a uniquely elegant moment in musical history — the calm before rock ’n’ roll shook the world.
