The Story of Grand Hotel

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

On the eve of its anniversary,
Leonard Pearcey traces the story of a much-loved music programme from the golden days of radio. Grand Hotel was one of radio's earliest outside broadcasts, a technical triumph and possibly a nightmare, too, for its day. It was first heard live from the Grand
Hotel in Eastbourne on 28 July 1925, accompanied by the chink of tea cups and polite applause.
Producer Ruth Cubbin
Grand Hotel 70th anniversary gala concert: Saturday 29 July
