The Arcadia 78 RPM Orchestra are pleased to announce the world's very first 78 RPM audible twitch* hosted by Matt Sewell, ornithologist and artist extraordinaire by the estuary during the Port Eliot Festival. Birds recorded onto shellac between the wars – probably by men smoking briar pipes – will be played to those assembled with ears trained to identify the most birds. Matt has offered a beautiful print of the estuary-loving peewit as a prize. Most suitable for the setting.
One of the records to be aired can be viewed below. For security reasons, all important information has been obscured. Skullduggery is acceptable on the day, but only if instigated in a gentlemanly/womanly way.
* This is a bold claim but for the sake of excitement and controversy we are sticking to it.
