Thomas Preece<p>I&#39;ve finally managed to find a copy of a record I&#39;ve been looking for for ages! This was my 3rd great grandfather Dafydd John&#39;s favourite song. He passed away in 1894 so wouldn&#39;t have ever heard it on a record. The choir is from the Borough Welsh Chapel in London, which is still in existence. They won the National Eisteddfod in Liverpool in 1929 with the same conductor on this record, so my guess is that it was recorded late 20s or early 30s.</p><p>Interestingly this record plays at 80rpm, and Discogs has what I assumed was a repress on a different label, but that one plays at the standard 78. (Do I now need to acquire a copy of that one for comparison?)</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/records" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>records</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>genealogy</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/gramophone" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gramophone</span></a></p>

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 5 March 1925:<br> WOMEN IN<br> PRINT.<br>…<br> The Assembly Hall, in the Red Cross Chambers, was well filled when the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/gramophone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gramophone</span></a> recital given by Mr. Ryan, in aid of the funds of the Junior Red Cross, was held. The programme contained items of special interest to music lovers. At the conclusion of the recital verbal and written suggestions were handed m regarding several special items which will be included in future programmes. The next recital will be held on 17th March next. During the evening Miss Wilkinson had control of the instrument, which is electrical, and which was kindly lent by Mr. Ernest Dawson for the occasion.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250305.2.153" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250305.2.153</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Recordings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Recordings</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Performances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Performances</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

Thomas Preece<p>Hello everyone! I&#39;ve been around fedi for a while on my own Mastodon server, but I&#39;ve now decided to join beige.party at <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://beige.party/@jessica" class="u-url mention">@<span>jessica</span></a></span>&#39;s recommendation - so here&#39;s my new <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Introduction</span></a>!</p><p>In a mid-30s cis man from Bristol, UK.

I also play a bunch of musical instruments and arrange classical and folk music for ukuleles and ocarinas, and occasionally play them in videos.</p><p>I&#39;ve been pretty quiet on fedi for a while, but hoping to get more involved with the community again now!</p>
Graham Dunningnewly hung wall art in my workspace, a postcard from the Deutsches Phonomusuem in the black forest. I love the simplicity of this shot and the colours. <br> These two-horned gramophones were designed to fill a large room with sound for social dancing. Because of the location of the styluses on the record there would be a slight stereo delay effect. Due to the speed of rotation, I'd estimate the delay time to be about 10ms, so not long enough to disrupt the rhythm of the music. <br> <br> I'd highly recommend a visit to the museum if you're ever in the area. <br> <a href="http://deutsches-phonomuseum.de/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://deutsches-phonomuseum.de/</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/gramophone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gramophone</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/turntable?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turntable</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a>

Just under 4 days to go, and “Midnight, The Stars And You” has hit £2000 and is still rising. If you’re curious, it’s the closing theme from “The Shining” starring Jack Nicholson. Played at the end of the film when he appears in an old B&amp;W photo.</p>

I’m forever the optimist! I don’t suppose anyone’s come across an original 78rpm record sleeve from 1945 like this one have they? I’ll pay if any are still out there. As far as I know it’s American, as the British versions had completely different sleeves.<br>Thank you, and I’m crossing my fingers!</p>
