Richard Beard will give a talk and play examples from the British Library’s extensive collection of sound recordings held in the National Sound Archive. From oral history interviews to early classical music, historic birdsong to broadcasts of vanished cultures, Richard’s presentation will introduce some of the audio gems that can be found in one of the greatest research libraries in the world.

As with all Friends of Freshwater Library events, there will be refreshments! The talk is free for fofl members, but we ask for a small donation from non members.
