“We’re absolutely honoured to have our work inducted and archived in not only The National Library of Wales, which is one of the world’s great libraries (yes, we’re biased!) but also in the The British Library, Sound & Moving Image Archives, London. Knowing these recordings, that hold the work of our friends and family, are held here for future generations is beyond belief”

The British Library Sound Archive, formerly known as the British Institute of Recorded Sound, was founded by Patrick Saul in 1930.
According to the British Library’s sound magazine Playback: ‘One afternoon in 1930, a young music-lover went into the London gramophone shop in Cranbourn Street run by Mr Wilfrid Van Wyck and Mr W Rimington and asked for Dohnányi’s Violin Sonata in the arrangement by Lionel Tertis. To his amazement he was told that the record was ‘out of print’; it had been deleted.’
‘The realisation that such performances could be snuffed out, that they seemed to be disappearing for ever was, Patrick Saul said later, like a child hearing about death for the first time, and he resolved to try and do something to prevent the death.’
The British Library holds over 6 million items, including over 1 million discs and 200,000 tapes
