The golden era of the big dance bands lasted for four decades on both sides of the Atlantic. Since the 1950s and the emergence of rock 'n' roll the number of dance bands has decreased, but the few that remain still command a big following. Such a band is the Syd Lawrence Orchestra , and tonight they serve up some nostalgia with favourites originally played by Glenn Miller , Tommy Dorsey and Count Basie. Joining SYD LAWRENCE on the bandstand is guest vocalist Anne Shelton
