Vinatage Recordings Project

[Mark Davies]

I have an extensive collection of recordings of concertina players dating from the late 1940's and early 1950's(transferred from reel to reel to cassette)and going through to the 1960's and 1970's.These were left to me by Harry Hatton of Haydock,Lancashire,agreat concertina player and enthusiast who I played with for many years.The collection includes unique recordings of anglo,Jeffries/Maccann & Crane Duet & English concertina players as well as ensembles and competitors at the ICA Festivals.These recordings in the main have never been publicly available before.I have purchased the equipment to digitise the recordings but have realised I simply do not have the time available to complete the project.I am seeking someone with the requisite skills to do the work.I am willing to pay for the work to be carried out.Ideally anbody interested should live within reasonable travelling distance of Sheffield,South Yorkshire.Contact me :-

Good luck Mark. I can't believe that someone will not be happy to come to your rescue and we can then all enjoy the music.

Hallo Mark, this is one of the things I wish to discuss with you next week.As you know English Int is now finished and some of the Duet tracks you have will be of particular interest.In the meanwhile I will discuss this with Graham.

Looking forward to seeing you all again

I forgot to mention Mark that Jim Ward may be coming up with me.He of course specialises in old recordings and has all the equipment .
