ACTUALLY - better to start a fresh search at http://sounds.bl.uk/ or u get trapped into a deadend unless u are becoming a student again (to get access from an institution of higher education etc) so no sounds available to the common man and certainly not gentlemen :rolleyes: ....

Queen Lud Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Or go straight to the English traditional music page (which seems to include Ireland!) http://sounds.bl.uk/Browse.aspx?category=W...usic-in-England I also put concertina in the search field and retrieved a few pages of results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDT Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 You have to go to http://sounds.bl.uk/ but make sure you click the 'Restrict search to recordings everyone can play' option when you search. That way you get ones that you can listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But could it be a nice long-term home for the ICA music archive... one wonders? Don't us know somebody at t'BL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, tks for that I was put off more by the layout, which threw me... Main page - the restricted (if your eyes are attracted to read it and mine are trained not to**) access message is first with search box underneath, and the general public access message is out to the right ("second option" for my brain scan). Might be better t'other way round......the masses first and elite second. Then: Do a search for concertina (I dont tick boxes as my brain says I have agreed to something and will get a loadof spam....!) Up they come, I choose Alexander's Ragtime and bingo, up comes the toon play box But I decide I dont want that, so let me search again and I think how helpful a box to the right and I automatically go to that 'new' search box on the right -- type in Tsar's Ragtime, press search and then get told u are not a student...................... thank goodness we only design websites for the day job.... That we are even giving tips to each other on how to use the thing shows it aint been thought through with illterate/WWW (webweakwally) punters like me in mind! Still, it must be doing wonders for my finger/brain/button layout patterns as i try to speed up my Rach II effort on my Anglo ** don't even ask about subsconscious blanking out of street and other ads... there's a whole marketing theory out there to prevent it...
