PeterT Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Sadly for me, it's a long way from Clare to here! With almost two weeks to go, the bad news is that: '.....it grows further by the day' Hope that Stephen's talk is well supported. Regards, Peter.

Chris I don't mind doing it Chirs, but I don't have any device for that purpose. Maybe I can use my mobile, I have a memory card in it, I think it will be enough to record all the talk. I don't know about the battery... this talk is going to be 3 hours or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you might need an old-fashioned reel to reel tape recorder for the purpose! (or a modern digital Edirol) Maybe Stephen has the means to record some or all of it. Perhaps you could ask him? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wouldn't it be nice if Stephen actually recorded a Video of his talk! I'm quite sure a lot of enthusiasts wouldn't mind coughing up for a copy ... myself included.

I will have to think in something to say, I want to be in the recording! If I cannot think of anything, I will cough or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernando Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Sorry guys, but I made a big mistake! I'm writing this in a hostel in Ennis just besides the Clare County Library. I thought the talk was going to be there! I got confused because I didn't read well the announcement in facebook. Here is more clear, I can see that the talk is in Milltown Malbay! this is not too far from where I am, 20 miles far. But I don't have car, and I don't know how I'm supposed to go to Galway early in the morning from there... What a pity! I was ready to record the talk... Well, I will stay in this hostel, and now I'm going to look for a session! Fernando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Laban Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Steve hauled out a part of 'the collection' The ones in the photographs are a mouthblown predecessor/prototype by Wheatstone and the very first Wheatstone attempt at concertina. There was an array of other instruments on display. Edited December 17, 2010 by Peter Laban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
