The Luton Girls’ Choir and the Glasgow Orpheus Choir belong to a very particular time in British music and – unlike any other choirs that have been heard in Britain since – each evoked, and still evokes, a unique atmosphere. This collection of some of their best-known songs recalls the days of BBC record request programmes when such fare was a staple of the airwaves. The items from the Glasgow Orpheus Choir are preceded by spoken introductions by their famous founder, Hugh Roberton. The repertoire of the Glasgow Orpheus Choir includes their immortal ‘All in the April evening’, while the Luton Girls’ songs explore more ‘popular’ pieces, with their unmistakably saccharine harmonies!
