GUILD LIGHT MUSIC CDs ARE NOW EMBARKING ON THEIR SECOND CENTURY!

19 March 2013

The incredibly successful series of "Golden Age of Light Music" CDs produced by Guild Music has already reached the magical figure of 100, but the series still continues.

  • GLCD5205 Here's To Holidays
  • GLCD5206 Non-Stop To Nowhere

The good news is that this landmark series of Light Music recordings has not stopped at 100! Further releases are due in the coming months, and more collections are already being prepared for the rest of 2013.
These CDs are available from all good retailers, including on-line from Amazon and also direct from the Guild Music website.


FRENCH LIGHT MUSIC LEGEND PIERRE-MARCEL ONDHER HAS DIED

19 March 2013

We are saddened to have to report the death of Pierre-Marcel Ondher (usually affectionately known simply as PMO), who was a big name in French popular music circles for well over half a century. He was a champion of Light Music, and he compiled numerous collections drawing on the countless rare recordings in his own extensive record library. This was also the source of material for his unique radio programmes. In 1960 Roger Roger composed the PMO Polka in his honour. PMO  was born in Paris on 5 September 1925, and was aged 87 when he died.  A full tribute to him will appear in the August/September issue of Journal Into Melody
