soundmapMany thanks for adding the 'uksm' tag. Your recording has already been added to the UK SoundMap, but we've had to catch up on our acknowledgements due to the large number of contributions received lately.
FelicityVFordThe machine is amazing; it spins beautiful, worsted yarn and is operated by Roger down in East Sussex. It is a very small and very precious enterprise, and many of the machines are salvaged from old spinning mills up North. The whole place smells of engine oil (a great smell) mixed with the smell of sheep fleeces, and when everything is going full tilt, it makes a mighty racket! It's one of the only places where small farmers with tiny flocks can go to get their fleeces spun up and I love it and hope we will still be able to hear this sound in years to come.
soundmapI like the look of the machine in your photo as well as how it sounds. Many thanks, your recording's now on the UK Soundmap.
andymooseman@anakin1814 As soon as i saw what was happening i realised that recording an AudioBoo would be a great way of really capturing that moment. Recording history, as it were.
anakin1814This roving reporter type of podcast is exactly what makes things like the iPhone and audiboo so incredible. I’m so sorry for Hastings....
andymooseman@Blade376 Thanks Myles. I think AudioBoo is perfect for exactly this type of occasion. I've also recorded an Aftermath Boo as well. As for the fire, it is suspected as being arson. Two kids have been arrested.
