Paulus 541 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I've mentioned this before, in another Topic, but is there anyone out there who remembers the Radio Sunbeams, who were a group of youngsters from Nottingham (mainly) who sang songs; Wedding of the Painted Doll, amongst them. Radio Sunbeams broadcast in late 20's & through the 30's, my mum was a Radio Sunbeam (from Radford) named Winnie Robinson, I'd appreciate any info' at all on this subject.

jackson 301 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi Paulus, I well recall you writing about your talented mum - always singing around the house - and hope your search for information on the 'Radio Sunbeams' proves fruitful. PS: How about contacting (email): the Local Studies Library, County Library, Angel Row, Nottingham? PPS: Or, you could contact: Ron Booth (Nottingham Historian) through his website: 'Ron Booth'. Good Luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paulus 541 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi jackson, Thanks for the tips, nice of you to recall my previous posts, re' my lovely & daily missed mum. I'll try to get sme old photo's of mum in her Radio Sunbeam stage days, as although called Radio Sunbeams they also did stage appearances, with dancing added to their skills, my mum portrayed one of the tin soldiers in at the 'Wedding of the Painted Doll' Mick, Thanks for the lead, although I've researched those Radio Sunbeams, I believe they were members of a Childrens Hour club & not entertainers unfortunately.

jackson 301 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi Paulus (again); regarding the: 'Radio Sunbeams', how about contacting: Andy Smart, 'Bygones', 'Nottingham Evening Post'? He's very approachable and a mine of information on subjects; considering that the 'Radio Sunbeams', mainly came from Nottingham, I'm sure he'll be very interested in what you have to say.
