Welcome to the Al Bowlly Blog

This Blog celebrates the life and music of one of the greatest vocalists of the 1930's Dance Band era, Al Bowlly.

For more than 35 years, I have been collecting 78 rpm recordings of this consummate artist. I have gained enormous pleasure from Bowlly's work, and now I want to give something back to the world.

Over the coming weeks, months and years, I will be sharing my collection with you. Stay tuned for biographical snippets, recording information, songs, photographs, podcasts and more. If you're already a fan of Bowlly, you're in for a treat. If you've just dropped in out of curiosity, prepare to be captivated by the master of melody.
