We& #39;ll start this #SundaySession at the beginning - almost literally - with the Baird Television March from the early 1930s. This was later used by Gaumont-British for their cinema newsreels. https://soundcloud.com/transdiffusion/baird-television-march">https://soundcloud.com/transdiff...
Since we& #39;re starting with early stuff, here& #39;s another early one: Associated-Rediffusion starts the day on 22 September 1955. Leslie Mitchell is here to tell you what& #39;s what in stern tones. #SundaySession https://soundcloud.com/transdiffusion/associated-rediffusion-day-one">https://soundcloud.com/transdiff...
Sticking with Associated-Rediffusion, here& #39;s their own march from 1957. Redvers Kyle is your announcer. #SundaySession https://soundcloud.com/transdiffusion/associated-rediffusion-march">https://soundcloud.com/transdiff...
North of the border (and Border) now for ITV& #39;s longest-lasting startup music, as Geraldo presents Scotlandia. #SundaySession https://soundcloud.com/transdiffusion/scotlandia-1">https://soundcloud.com/transdiff...
Welcome back. Time to start ABC Weekend& #39;s Sunday before the Morning Service with the austere Pastoral Prelude from Frederic Curzon. John Benson is on hand to do the authority announcement as always. #SundaySession https://soundcloud.com/transdiffusion/abc-morning-service-startup-using-pastoral-prelude">https://soundcloud.com/transdiff...
When ABC weren& #39;t starting up for a church service in the 1950s, they let their hair down with Mr Punch from Robert Farnon. #SundaySession https://soundcloud.com/transdiffusion/abc-1956-9-start-up-mr-punch">https://soundcloud.com/transdiff...
Back to Sunday mornings before the church service on ITV and London Weekend opens with something less swinging and groovy than their usual daily musical offering. #SundaySession https://soundcloud.com/transdiffusion/london-weekend-sunday-morning-service-opening">https://soundcloud.com/transdiff...
Meanwhile in the south-west, TSW started each day in the early 1980s like this... #SundaySession https://soundcloud.com/transdiffusion/tsw-starts-the-day">https://soundcloud.com/transdiff...
By the way, every single piece so far in this thread has been one that @kiffr can& #39;t bear. So, just for him, it& #39;s over to ATV and a piece he really loves. #SundaySession https://soundcloud.com/transdiffusion/sound-and-vision">https://soundcloud.com/transdiff...
