Sing Something Simple

Following on from the Two-Way Family Favourites thread I'm in a nostalgic mood.

Anyone remember this show broadcast on the BBC Light Programme? Every Sunday from 7:00PM - it used to be on when mum and dad were getting ready to go to the Lindley Liberal Club and before we were tucked up in bed before the baby sitter turned up.

Re: Sing Something Simple

Oh yes Judd!!! Seems like it was only yesterday too
Don't remember the time it was on though.


(I hadn't seen the Family Favourites thread.... must look in on that one too. That's another I remember well..........)

Re: Sing Something Simple

I think they were called the Cliff Adam Singers, Carol...

Re: Sing Something Simple

God, I hated that programme. Talk about soulless - that and the Wakey Wakey of Billy Cotton make me feel depressed even now.

Re: Sing Something Simple

Ahhh yes, the Billy Cotton band show with Alan Breeze, Rita ??? and Russ Conway - I remember it well.

It was shows like that gave us the pirates.Thankfully.No one under the age of 40 was listening to music on the BBC

Re: Sing Something Simple

Some us had no choice when we were kids. It was the Home service or the Light Programme.

Thank goodness for Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg (208 on the medium wave ) which I listened to at night-time on a newly acquired cheap Japanese transistor radio. The signal wasn't very strong and used to drift in and out but it was better than listening to dead Loss and his orchestra and other forties throwbacks.
