Join us for charts you'll love from Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Melba Liston and Duke Ellington, all the way to the present day, plus some more left-field choices. Dancing in the aisles is strongly encouraged, or sit back and be blown away by this wonderful, timeless music.

In 1916, Christabel Mennell writes a letter of apology to Katie Marsh. It is finally delivered in 2021 and becomes a global news sensation. Travelling from Bath to London, via two world wars and two pandemics, the unreceived letter of apology sparked people’s imaginations, opening up a fascinating mystery: what was the apology for? Who were the women writing to one another? What became of them? After a year of speculation and research, Good Wolf peels back the layers of time to reveal a funny, moving story of history, war, faith, friendship and porridge oats.
