The Martlett Archive consists of over 1000 events recorded. Most of them were taped by John Aitchison who ran Martlett Recordings from 1985 to 1998. The archive will eventually be donated to the East Sussex Record Office as an audio history of those years. We would like to express our thanks to John Aitchison for his support and hard work.
Most of the concerts by the East Sussex Youth Orchestra plus the first East Sussex Young Musicians performance of Carmina Burana are now available on CDs.
A full brochure giving all the details can be obtained by calling John Aitchison on 07932 501428.
