Forgotten Songs from the Broom Cupboard is a trawl through a collection of 78rpm and vinyl records seeking out the obscure and lesser played artists, songs and music from 1900 to 1960. Played directly from the original record. We also look into some of the history and stories behind the music and artists. Episodes 1 to 79 we look at all genres of music. From episode 80 we concentrate more on American roots music. Early country, folk, blues, bluegrass, Cajun and Western Swing. Presented by Miles Tubb all the way from Edinburgh, Scotland.
