@@alexmckenna1171 Yes , thank you now recognise it, must admit not that fond of his style.

@@tiga4180 thanks for the info I will be uploading a picture of Arthur Gilbert soon

@@gramocollect591 That would be interesting, there appears to be little info on him. By coincidence I've just posted him singing: 'John Willie Come On' as George Cavanagh.

@ It’s wonderful to come across piano music pictures of these music hall stars but the downbeat is the songs may never appear. Arthur Gilbert sung alongside Stanley Kirkby and was usually part of these descriptive records with other well known names.

@@gramocollect591 Not come across them as a pair, but both being versatile & 'hornogenic' they'd be sure to make a good duo. Look forward to the pic of Arthur Gilbert.

@ He sung a song about Blackpool, bet it was great!

@@davidglow3 Very experimental and raw

@@MikeThomas78 Thanks very much! Don’t get much shared info! At least my guess that this was Jay Wilbur sounding was right. The other side has the same title but different song.The early Filmophone recordings were supposed to be by a different bandleader, but this trial recording isn’t. I know this song well as I have a few versions but they are hidden in my collection. The information passed on by RUclips and some collectors is sometimes weak and contradictory. A picture of Harry Fay is all over RUclips but it isn’t nothing like him.

@@MikeThomas78 Before Xmas I will post the rare Durium I messaged you about, and an early Mantovani on Four Tune or Broadcast Four.

@@GramophonicReevolution My collecting days are refined nowadays but my son who don’t have any interest in gramophones keeps finding me more 78s. He has just sent me more pictures of records for me but also a HMV Portable . I know you love players and thought what you might know about an early 1924 -25 . He thinks it’s a rarer one that only 6000 were made.

No, the man on this record has a Scottish accent.

@@harrykuheim6107 music don’t look back, Hilton quickly progressed.

No one played like that in 1951! This music belongs only to the early 1920s dance hall! To maximum 1924! it was classy dance music for the young upper classes!

Car boot in morning, that will wake him up!😂

​@@gramocollect591😂did it work??

Not particular band but all sorts of regimental bands .I have a lot of unplayed bagpipes and an interesting rare Scottish label. The proprietors of this label bought Edison’s equipment and only run for a short while.

@@gramocollect591 look forward to hearing more! Thanks for your interesting reply.

Two sides to collecting, love of music,love of artistry.

Not sure who it is, it’s got a George Fisher rhythm sound to it!

@@gramocollect591 Might be Allan Selby's band, not 100% sure though.

Harry Acres Winter Garden dance band on other side but a different band I feel. Not enough solo.s for a lot of bands. Thanks for your expert opinion!

@@jazzbo11 It's Billy Cotton's Band, recorded: November 1928.

​@@alternateunreleasedshellac505Yep it's BC for sure

Always worth looking out for!

@@SavathunSussyImpostor your welcome😀

@@davidglow3 many thanks

I think her talents were not used enough on the right songs, watch her with Carrol Gibbons live , brilliant to behold, a beauty. Thanks Paul.

Lucky fellow to have two😅

@@davidbarker5941 Had my eye lasered recently, should have known with Leslie Sarony, thanks

@@tiga4180 Columbia Grafonola, hybrid made, love all things Bakelite, the horn has been sliced because of crack on stem but had an alloy sleeve, have originals on other machines but a toy. These Hurlingham band records are quite good as are the Edison dance orchestra and although unknown I think are band connected.

@@gramocollect591 Did many machines have bakelite horns, or did it come from an early radio? There certainly were some great bands back then. The Two Gilberts did a vocal version (its on YT), but unusual for them, I find it slow & disappointing. As for hybrids, how about my 'Wannabe Trade Mark Model' ruclips.net/video/yHyp_tCiico/видео.htmlsi=VjXs7HPwqGGplnmy The gramophone is a 'Marathon' the horn is an Edison.

@@tiga4180 Radio horn, from a car boot, it fell off his van as he opened the back doors. When I think of the years in which I hunted 78s and passed on thousands, yet they are still popping up here and there. A true story, months ago I visited the Black Country Museum, my daughter in law comes from round that area. They have a large collection of early radio , inside is a load of records behind the counter. I asked if she could pass a 78 down and it was a pheonix label. The young girl knew nothing about them and I tried to give a little knowledge which she seemed enthusiastic. Unfortunately next to her was a jobsworth who didn’t want to know anything so it was hurried up.There is a large collection on shelves, worth visiting.

@@gramocollect591 Phoenix of course was a short lived budget subsidiary of Columbia. Not too hard to find, must have sold well. Think these radio horns turn up because the driver stopped working. Yes, plenty of 78's still around, some whole collections from collector's who've passed. Prices are falling as we're a dying breed, with little young blood to replace us. Will be attending Birmingham International Record Fair at National Motorcycle Museum Sun 13th Oct. Worth a visit. Vinyl is gradually taking over, but still some good stuff. Perhaps some cylinders & the odd gramophone for sale.

@@TheDonnellymarie It’s always nice to see that other folk enjoys other musical tastes as dance bands seems to hit the spot most of the time. Thanks
