I can’t believe this station has been going for so long and I only discovered it a week ago. I am usually a Radio 3 listener but the rest of the household do not like classical, so we used to compromise and listen to Radio 2. Then the playlist changed and it was too modern.
Reading the Telegraph letters page someone recommended a Swiss station with no ads. There was a choice of Classical, pop or Jazz. It wasn’t too bad but the pop was a bit Eurovision. On the plus side it prompted me to Google internet radio without ads – and there was Serenade Radio.
I tuned in and it was Sing Something Simple, and I was transported back to Sunday afternoon sightseeing drives from years ago. I loathed it then and my opinion hasn’t changed ,but earlier I put it on for my 82 year old mum and she was in Easy Listening Heaven!
For my part I have loved my week with Serenade Radio. Yesterday (Saturday) there wasn’t a single duff record and it was on from breakfast til a reluctant bedtime at midnight. Today I’ve been delighted to hear Noel Coward, Dinah Washington and the Andrews Sisters, three all time favourite artistes.
If I have any complaints it’s that it has stopped me playing the piano because I’m always wondering what’s going to be played next.

Thank you so very much for creating a station that is pure listening pleasure.

Hi Jane, great show as always, just to confirm Jimmy Young was on Radio2 for many years until 2002,
Take care.

Congratulations on the third anniversary of your show Johnny Mac!
A good listen as always, lovely to hear “Trav’lin Light” by Ella one of my favourite songs!

Morning Johnny Mac, another great show this am to wake up to, and what a lovely song from Petula Clark to round it off, says it all for me. Thank you!

How great to have Simon back on the excellent Dinner at 8. Rushed home to catch the show…one of my Serenade faves
Simon, I feel I should be drinking a Dry Martini with an olive in it whilst listening to your show! Kind regards Tony

Not feeling my best this evening but then I started listening to A Little Night Music and WOW what a great first hour of listening pleasure! Not dancing around like Karen but just smiling happily. Great program Johnny Mac!

Love to listen to Sonia during weekday mornings! Love the stories she shares with us and great music! Brilliant radio station. At last we have ‘proper’ music we can enjoy. Thank you Serenade radio. Long may you broadcast !

Lovely to have you back Simon on a Saturday evening with your show Dinner at Eight with all your lovely selections of music instrumental

Lovely tunes heard in recent days. Bob Hope and Shirley Ross, The Pattersons, Roger Whittaker, Nancy Wilson, Joy Nichols.

But I have to ask: that screech lady Gloria Wood. Has she gone away now, never to return? Her idea of ‘easy listening’ and mine don’t seem to coincide. ‘Hey Bellboy’ suggests a time before anaesthetics were invented.

Apart from that it’s all a jolly good listen, thank you.

“The world’s greatest ever broadcaster” – and then plays My Father Had a Rabbit.

What an absolute star you are, Mr. Marriott! I am, of course, in complete agreement, I have Ray’s autobiography as well as Alma’s (“Management” 😊) and his CD. (Didn’t know until recently he was born in Birmingham.)

I wonder what our overseas listeners thought if todays “Twaddle”! Thank you, as always.

Mark what a lovely chat you had with Alan Bergman, a gentleman of the old scholl . It revealed the gentle and generous side of Sinatra and his love for composers. His suggestion to Tony to record “How do you keep the music Playing” showed his admiration for his friend . Tony has made it his own closing number always leading to a standing innovation. You have been very lucky to have interviewed all 0f the great composers and in sharing those memorable moments with the listeners of Serenade Radio. I realise that most have passed on to the Great Concert Hall in the Sky. Please continue to share these moments with us for as long as you able to.

I always loved Gordon Lightfoot’s voice and style. I attended his concert about 10 years ago and he was in such a ruined state physically and vocally – putting him onstage was an act of elder abuse. Ah well, here at SR he is forever young and talented!
