The next meeting of the Scottish Gramophone Group will be on Saturday 17 September at 2pm. Venue details available on request.

The meeting will be in two parts. The first will be a short presentation by Almut Boehme about the recorded music held by the National Library of Scotland. Almut is the Music Curator in the Collections and Research Department of the Library.

The second will be an opportunity for you to play one (or possibly two) recordings which you particularly like or which you want the group to hear. So please feel free to bring along anything you like. I think we can easily play recordings in the following formats: Vinyl (LPs, 45s etc), CDs, 78s, and Pathe discs.
