Mellotronists

There's a couple of nice pics of Les at Grosvenor Studios 
surrounded by lots of bits of tron and tape making equipment on 
Kean's site. Is this where most of the tron recording sessions were 
done?

some of you are probably too young to remember 
thunderbirds, fireball

recall
space 1999 or UFO [the tv show - not the band].
he is a gracious, humble, inceredibly pleasant and 
approchable man.
and he even knows what a mellotron is:
"you mean one of those things that has all the tapes?"
i had him sign all my japanese box set thunderbird laserdiscs.



And do you know where the SFX for those programmes were 
made? None other than Grosvenor Studios in B'ham where a lot of 
the Rime takes were done. We initially started to make tapes at 
Grosvenor before getting kitted out ourselves. John Taylor is 
credited on Thunderbirds, Stingray and Fireball. He was Les 
Bradley's closest friend and is now over 80 years old. The last of 
the the true masters of analogue recording and a nice bloke.

Best,
