We have decided to change this blog, to being music centered, leaving the political side to the news and views section of our HeartOfMorpeth website. This being in line with the objectives of The Olde Record Cabin. There will be some original digitally restored Vintage music from the 78 era, some You Tube videos of new bands, Mp3′s including links and information. We would also like to hear from other new bands or groups who would like some promotion. Our intention is to provide this service on a free not for profit basis, the only advertising this blog will contain is the music from the artists themselves.
The basis for our belief is that there is too much music and too many bands who the General Public have neither heard nor know about. yet alone given a chance to purchase releases.
Sadly the music industry itself has failed to get to grips with the internet on a world wide scale. The simplest solution for music sites, would be for the music industry to provide an affordable world wide license fee, which effectively means that small music buisnesses can begin promoting without having to go through the rigmarole of finding which piece of music is owned by whom and to whom the copyright belongs. A more muddled method then that which is in place now, would be hard to find and this is sad because many new musicians are simply never heard or given the the chance to be heard. In turn a “World Music Licence” would not only create income for the music companies, but would also bring much needed income to the artists themselves.
Finally, Notice of Copyright, All Mp3′s played here are either over the age of 50 years, therefore are compliant with statutory European laws, or are new releases from bands. These will include You Tube Videos, as You Tube have obtained appropriate licenses for the use of music and therefore makes the appropriate payments to the record companies and the artists for their work. Although that is probably an overstatement… No comments please!.
Enough of the blather, site below provides an excellent source of new artists and also provides new artists a way in which to sell their music, it it works by charging commission for the music it sells.

Finally, a charming 78rpm, one of our own digital recoveries, now heard on the Heart Of Morpeth Vintage Juke box.
