Voice On Record is produced and presented by Sean Williams. Each episode features a selection of recordings of the human voice which have been preserved on vinyl. Historic events stand alongside esoteric guides to better bowling. Arid studio recordings are juxtaposed with location recordings rich with fascinating incidental sounds.

Roger, do you remember producing a short film with a Newcastle pop group which was a trial for the Beatles about 1961. Was it archived.
Cheers Bill.
