British
Vintage Wireless and Television
Museum
Afternoon
of Music - May 14th 2022
A very warm and
sunny Saturday saw the first
musical gathering of 2022 at the
Museum. Although the numbers were
[rather disappointingly] lower
than customary, those attending
were treated to enjoyable
presentations by Brian Reynolds
[on orchestras which used to
appear on BBC radio], Alex
Gleason, [who played a selection
of his favourite musical
compositions written for films],
Chris Money [on the American
composer Leroy Anderson] and Tony
Clayden [on the English composer
and arranger George Melachrino].
Tony also organised and
introduced the programme.
Visitors were able
to view [at a distance] the
progress of the site improvements
including the new cabin
and groundworks which were
nearing completion in time for
the forthcoming Garden Party at
the beginning of June.
Brian Reynolds
whose grandfather and then
father ran a very successful
Radio and Television business in
Bromley for many years was
delighted to see that the shop's
signboard, which had languished
for many years in Brian's garage,
has now been awarded
pride-of-place on the front of
the TV room.
As always, a light
lunch was provided by Eileen
Laffey and the whole afternoon
was 'overseen' by John Thompson.
