What jolly fun!

[brainburrito]

Cool toy you've got there.

[throovest]

good on yer, sport. fab. wunnerful!

[carrywet]

This is the real skiffle!

[MIK415]

I have sen several videos of Lonnie Lonegan's Skiffle Group, but it would be nice to have a complete (or near as possible) collection of his music. Is there a compilation album/CD available? I just love his voice, and many of his gospel songs are first rate.

[oldmanokent]

there's quite a few on that well known auction site

[ferrarial]

One really good double cd Talking Guitar Blues - The Very Best of Lonnie Donegan on the Castle label NEECD325

[helmuthoorn]

Didn't your wife allow you to play inside ?

[UpMyOwn]

Funny you should say that....

[OneMoreDawkinsFan]

Very nice, Henry!

[UpMyOwn]

onniman, I sold this player on ebay a year ago for £35 to someone in spain. It worked but condition was very poor. Most interest seems to be in southern Europe.

[onniman]

Hey, I'm interested about that player how much you think that one cost nowadays. We have same kind of player in a good shape. Just interested how valuable that may be.

boy that takes me back, lol.

Great recording! just the way i usually do things! Why did you get rid of the gramophone? there the best way of playing the best quality of music as i am sure you all know the quality of music on a record far out strip that of a CD. But of course CD's are cheap to produce. If you don't believe it ask any proper sound engineer (one that's had about 38 years of experience)!!!!!

[Scythey06]

Just out of interest where do you live cause the only people we know now without electricity live on top of a mountain in North Wales.

[UpMyOwn]

This was filmed at the end of my garden. There is no power within 100 feet. I am familiar with the sound quality argument. I have listened to music on this and the modern digitally enhanced equivalent and after much careful considreation and analysis of sonic comparison I am certain that there is no difference.

We had one of those Gramma phones in New Zealand to n the late 50,s early 60,s to and this band is a UK Skiffle band Lonnie Donnegan

[UpMyOwn]

Some say that Lonnie Donegan was the first in pop music. I think they are right.

[ReverendGoob]

Hi,

Can you tell me the artist and date of the recording. I've not heard this version before.

Thanks.

[UpMyOwn]

Lonnie Donegan is the artist and I beleive this record came out in the late 50's. I no longer have the gramaphone or records so I'm afraid that's all I can tell you.

[mirchevbogi]

You have to get rid of the rust on your gramophone

[UpMyOwn]

I got rid of the gramaphone

[bingcrosby1903]

lol

[HaulAwayJoe]

by the way that is an awesome record player

[HaulAwayJoe]

i have this same version on my ipod i have no clue of where i got it from

[itubestars]

I love this song!! :]

[exelentise]

Have you heard of a "CD" perhaps Limewire?

[UpMyOwn]

I don't have electricity, is this needed?

[exelentise]

Seeing as you video taped this perhaps your a tool

[UpMyOwn]

There was no tape involved, except that holding the record player together

[exelentise]

An Amish tool...

[bingcrosby1903]

Are you using new needles with each play?, Oops, i hate when the reproducer falls off!

[UpMyOwn]

That caught me out completely, but I thought it was funny so didn't re-record it! I made this video in order to help sell it! The shortcut was posted on ebay and someone from Spain watched it and bought it. It made £35 but the postage was £75. He paid it so I assume they are in demand in the Med. Thanks for the witty comment :)

[bingcrosby1903]

your welcome, if i was watching i think id want to buy the video along with the machine, so id have a good story to tell!!

[DADRENO]

This is why they invented electric gramaphones! You can buy a ION USB turntable from PC World for £120 and get rid of the scratches. However - a nice bit of nostalgia - I have a similar machine in the loft soewhere.
