I found a lot of old Welsh 7inch 45s in the Sense charity shop the other day, couldn’t resist for 50p each..more to come..
Geraint “Busker” Jones from Pentrecwrt – a regular on the streets of West Wales. As seen on TV!
I do like a record with a dog on the cover

Imagine getting this as a child, thinking you’d hear those classics as you know and love…
They’re not how I remember them!
A couple of Noddy Flexidiscs and others playing out for the summer!
A few records connected to the sign of Leo.
Tomorrow in Abercych there will be a full day of art – installation, walks, sound, movement and performance with the Maynard Abercych. More info here https://www.may-nard.org/afon-a-weekend-of-deep-listening-on-the-rivers-dulais-and-cych
From 4-7pm I will be in the village hall revisiting some of the processes explored and developed over the last 2 years with a mix of vinyl, field recordings and modular synths.
A stream of lucky sounds tomorrow from 11pm on https://awelshstream.co.uk/
Loops of 5 Judy Collins vinyl records.
Both Judy Collins and William Walker, the composer of the tune ‘New Britain’, have birthdays in Taurus.
I worked with Amazing Grace quite a bit some 20 years ago but was surprised I couldn’t find a recording using all my copies of the Judy Collins 7inch version.
Annoyingly the small phono mixer turned out to be a bit noisy, its kind of ok for a bit, but kind of not.
I think its the Sony turntable that was causing it, swapped that for a line level Numark and it seemed much better (no3).
After a while of vinyl only loops, No3 has the tune sequenced with synth sounds and effects too. The recognisable bits of the song mean it can’t be seen in Russia and Belarus.
Found a few more of these recently. I thought I’d try the Marx Toys battery powered record player I got a few years ago which I believed was broken, but it turns out I just hadn’t put the platter on correctly!
I made a video with my clockwork toy gramophone by Marx Toys some years ago (2008).
| I do everything Haiku from Bryan Adams (2002) | |
| Take the time, see all And when you find love, tell me tell me it’s true worth | What you do to me I can’t help it, I want more. You give Everything |
| Look into your soul, for Everything true. you will find your love | there’s nothin’ I do. Look, Don’t give me Everything unless you want me. |
| no more sacrifice- You can’t love me more I am mean – take life | There’s nowhere to hide Don’t you search my heart for it I search there for you |
| it’s worth tryin’ for you tell me it’s not dyin’ you’re worth all my heart | |
| Bryan’s Leftovers | |
| I can’t help it for it’s true it’s not there All Search nothin’ there as for you do I fight it’s like fightin’ will I do – I do it your eyes know I lie could you would you There’s – the other way you’ll – And – not I I do it -There’s – into my I would know you Don’t tell it’s not worth tryin’ for there’s nothin’ more Ya would Walk I’d die for Ya no no – I’d wire for – for – it for the Ya know | |
My friend John sometimes brings me vinyl, mostly what he finds at the local recycling centre for cheap, these seven inch records are from his Dad’s collection I believe. Great covers, thanks John.
