The Arcadia 78 RPM Orchestra was inspired by a conversation between John Andrews of Arcadia and Stephen ‘Spoonful’ Parker at the last Port Eliot Festival. Partly as a retreat from the world of the MP3, we thought it a nice idea to broadcast 78 recordings of nature, novelty & dance band music from a time when gramophones and records could be measured by the ton. We have played festivals, weddings and parties and are available for hire.

A Wet One !
This weekend we played a wedding at Prussia Cove in Cornwall. The weather was lovely apart from a 5 minute downpour. As we don't need electricity we were able to carry on through the rain !
