Gilmour's Albums

Anyone remember the long running program on CBC Radio? It used to be on at 10:00 PM Sunday and, later on, it was moved into the noon hour on Sunday. Gilmour had a vast and eclectic collection of music,

One of my favourites was his recordings by the Master Singers,a British choral group. They sang in the style of an Anglican Choir, about things like the weather reports or traffic reports.


After all is said and done, more is usually said than done.

Re: Gilmour's Albums

Loved it, Sunday morning radio over the years has, at times, been terrific, including when the lineup ended with The Royal Canadian Air Force at noon and the time signal. (I think that's what it's called.)

Wish CBC would do classic encore presentations of some of the shows from back in the day, including Gilmour's Albums, Air Farce, along with Morningside and Barbara Frum's interviews to name a few.

BBC Radio has digital channels that largely consist of repeats from their drama and comedy archives.

CBC Radio used to have a show called Rewind that did just that but I don't think it's been on for a few years https://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/rewind

Re: Gilmour's Albums

Check this out - Gilmour hosting his own anthology of "favourites" from his show. This was released as an LP some years ago.
