New resource for UK Thereminists
2006-06-16 by Jonathan Bisset
With apologies for following Jessica's post with another advert, but I'm sure this will be of interest to theremin enthusiasts in the UK (or planning a trip to the UK). Regards Jonathan Theremin UK - Announcement theremin.org.uk goes live ========================= This is the tale of our Nelly, a Brit who was watching the telly, when she saw upon the screen a most unusual music machine that made a wondrous, singular sound; eerie, melodic, mournful, profound. A theremin. You may have guessed, but wait until you hear the rest\ufffd As then announced our eager Miss, \ufffdI need to hear some more of this.\ufffd And so she searched the internet, saying, \ufffdI will find a gig. Yet will I have that much success? The internet is such a mess!\ufffd But here she had a nice surprise, for there, sat right before her eyes, was just a perfect little list of concerts that she might have missed, dotted all around the land, and there was a band quite close to hand. Well, after she had seen them play, she bought a theremin next day, and soon she learned to make it sing. It took a bit of struggling, but there was something else she found; a list of players on home ground. She met some of her local group, who helped her with the rod and loop. And with that boost, that hand, that lift, she found out that she had the gift! She\ufffds on the list herself, you know, and to her concerts you should go, as an agent also found the list, and contacted our gifted Miss\ufffd So when you see her, by and by, take a moment to say hi, as she\ufffds the famous player, Nelly, the thereminist from on the telly!
