Would you like a recording of Granny and Granddad's memories?

Talking history

How many times do we say "if only someone would make a recording of Granddad's memories"?

It might be Granddad, Granny, Mom, Dad, Uncle Albert, the lady next door, your retiring boss from work or an elder from a local church, mosque or community group.

But you never have the time to do it, or you haven't got a tape recorder that works or they just come over all coy and you agree to put it off to another day which never comes.

Let me help you out. I can visit your loved one with a high quality digital recorder, carry out a one to two hour oral history interview covering a range of their favourite topics of reminiscence and provide you with an edited interview on audio CD which can be copied for the whole family.

I have an up to date CRB check and am a published community historian with many years of oral history, journalism and publishing experience.

Costs from £50 for a 2 hour audio interview. I can also scan old photos, documents and memorabilia onto digital format for a complete package of memories. Audio interviews can be transcribed to text and produced as a book with photos.

Keep those family and community memories alive forever.
