Happy birthday to Joe Bussard whose passion and generous spirit have helped make old time music accessible for fans around the world.

Here Joe is 15 years ago transferring rare records from his collection for our label's inaugural release, "Goodbye, Babylon."

Just how sexy is this ? The Arcadia 78rpm Orchestra with new Dom Allen built amplifier hit the road. Shades of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma sleeve methinks...

New (but old) HMV soundbox to be used for a wedding this weekend. In a walled garden the bride will walk down the aisle whilst this lovely piece of equipment plays Saint-Saens The Swan recorded by Pablo Casals in 1926. No pressure there then !

Vintage gramophone DJs for weddings and parties in Bristol and Cornwall.

The Arcadia 78RPM Orchestra are a group of music lovers who DJ with old 78 shellac records, playing them on vintage gramophones. We play at weddings and parties and are available for hire in the Bristol area and also in Cornwall. We do not need electricity so can play anywhere, on a cliff, in a wood, or on a beach. We find that the our collection of jazz, blues, latin, cuban, and rock & roll works very well at wedding receptions as we do not play very loudly but add atmosphere to the event. People are more than welcome to join in and play some of our records, something that children really enjoy. Please contact us for more details. Find us on Instagram at https://bit.ly/36d7kye
