  • The British Military Music Archive – an Introduction
    The British Military Music Archive – An Introduction A compilation of some of the rarest recordings of British military music recently discovered and re mastered by The British Military Music Archive (BMMA) BMMA BACKGROUND In late 2014 a long forgotten store of 78 rpm recordings on shellac and vinyl of the band of the Coldstream Guards was discovered by Simon Vandeleur, the Regimental Secretary of the Coldstream Guards. He has since added to the collection from historic recordings by a number of other British military bands. The earliest of these recodings date back to 1905 when John Mackenzie-Rogan was the Coldstream Guards bandmaster from 1896 to1922, and was the first British Army bandmaster to be given commissioned rank. Mackenzie-Rogan became the senior Director of Music of the Brigade of Guards, composer and arranger of music, making the Guards band music well known both nationally and internationally, all before the days of radio, film and television. The Guards bands were amongst the first UK bands to have their music recorded, with the Coldstream band recording their first music in a London hotel in 1898. Simon had the recordings catalogued by archivist Colin Dean, along with the historic recordings of the Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards (also known as the Household Cavalry), and the Grenadier, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards (also known as the Brigade of Guards or Guards). Music publisher and music advisor to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Tim Hollier , introduced Simon to Metropolis Studios, recognised internationally as one of the leading digital mastering studios. Metropolis took some of the earliest recordings pre First World War, eliminated the hisses and scratches and background noise and illustrated how the music could be brought back to life.
