Bookmarking these - my Grandfather made three records in the 1920s, and also several live BBC broadcasts. I have tracked down details of the BBC Broadcasts but sadly there are no recordings left of his Broadcasts. I am still on the hunt for the gramaphone records, difficult cos I dont know what they were. Olde Crone

Tried a Lycos search and found this site which looks interesting. May be worth a try. They appear to be trying to collect all commercially recorded and privately recorded music. bl*uk/collections/sound-archive/pop*html change stars for dots Good luck
