Shoe Historian Cameron Kippen joins Harvey Deegan on Remember When to discuss the history of one of the oldest and most comfortable shoes - the slipper. 

The name, slipper is derived from Middle English, ‘sliper’ or ‘slipor’ (Old English) meaning "slip-shoe" and generally describes any low-cut, lightweight shoe which the foot can be slipped into.

Perth Male Voice Choir with Bruce Welsh

The Perth Male Voice Choir (PMVC) was established in 1926 when members of the

Commercial Travellers Association (CTA) in Perth formed a Concert Party with the

aim of raising money for charities. The Choir principally sang in the Welsh Male

Voice Choir tradition, i.e. adult males singing in four-part harmony usually with piano

accompaniment.
