Primo Scala And His Accordion Band – Strike Up The Band
Strike Up The Band is a delightful collection from Primo Scala and His Accordion Band, one of Britain's most popular light entertainment ensembles of the mid-twentieth century. Renowned for bringing accordion music to a wide audience through radio broadcasts, recordings, and live performances, Primo Scala helped make the instrument a staple of easy listening music for generations of listeners.
This charming album draws together a selection of popular standards, film songs, dance band favourites, and nostalgic melodies, all performed with the band's trademark warmth and precision. The accordion takes centre stage throughout, supported by polished ensemble playing that captures the elegant spirit of pre-war and post-war popular entertainment.
Featuring classics such as Strike Up The Band, Love Walked In, Pennies From Heaven, Rosalie, Isle Of Capri, and Beer Barrel Polka, the programme combines romantic ballads with lively dance tunes and memorable sing-along favourites. The inclusion of medleys allows several beloved songs to flow seamlessly together, recreating the atmosphere of vintage radio broadcasts and ballroom performances.
A wonderful example of traditional British easy listening, Strike Up The Band is sure to appeal to collectors of accordion music, dance band recordings, and nostalgic popular music from a golden age of entertainment.
