The Great American Songbook refers to a body of classic American standards written from the 1920s to the 1950s, mainly for Broadway musicals, and later musical films. Composers like Cole Porter, George & Ira Gershwin and Irving Berlin wrote songs made famous by singers such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and many more. In the last 20 years, contemporary singers have recorded their own versions of Great American Songbook music. Sue presents a selection of these classic songs along with some more modern American artists. In case you were wondering, the show's title is in honour of our late colleague and friend, Big Al, who first presented the show. Big Al's Great American Songbook is supported by our partner, Waitrose, Sherborne.

It's the weekend, so join Phil Scrase for two hours of great music and anecdotes every Friday afternoon (and repeated on Sunday afternoon). Phil will be playing some of the best music from the 1960s onwards! It's the Weekend is supported by our partner, Caravan Training, Crewkerne.

Exactly what it says! John plays fantastic album tracks from Rock's greatest bands. A great way to start your Friday evening.

On the first and second Friday of each month, Fred and Paul bring some of their music from Spiders Disco to get your Friday evening off to a flying start. Disco Spiders Weekend Jukebox is supported by our partner, Bill Butters Windows of Sherborne.
