Dale and Wolfgang, thanks for the suggestions. I'd be pleased to get any material that may represent the period. To that end a copy of the recordings would help to get the arrangements as close as possible. I don't intend to be a stickler for authenticity as long as the music is not too obviously anachronistic. All the music will be played live in the 'studio' including any station promos or product jingles.

In effect my aim is to produce a themed concert with strong emphasis on singing (about 100 voices with opportunities for solos and smaller sized feature ensembles). The spoken word will act as a bridge between musical pieces - I guess it's much the same as some radio today, without the talk-back.

Apart from this thread I can be contacted via PM or at johninbrisbane@hotbot.com.

Best wishes, John
