The presenters visit Cecil Sharp House, the home of English Folk Dance and Song Society, and are joined by Steve Roud, creator of the Roud Folk Song Index. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06r3pmf |

| Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4150 Points Moderator | Today's programme looks at the Fred Gaisberg collection of 7" Berliners. They play a record made by actor Charles Wyndham at his theatre, and as heard on the programme there is a pronounced reverberation on the recording. My understanding has been that it was near impossible to achieve any sort of ambiance on mechanical recordings because of the desperate insensitivity of the recording process, which required that the artist shout or play loudly as close as possible to the horn. Either this was some kind of exception or the recording for the programme was made of playback in a reverberant location http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06r3q5t |
