The Derby Tape Club

At a car boot sale near Derby, a radio producer buys a dusty hoard of audio tapes along with a heavy old tape recorder.

Coaxing the machine back to life, he discovers the jettisoned archive of a group of audio amateurs who made, played and swapped recordings in the 1960s and 70s, when domestic tape-recording was in its infancy - and before the audio cassette had conquered the world.

A radiophonic eulegy to an anonymous group of people and their forgotten enthusiasm.
