SUBJECT: |
COMMEMORATIVE GREEN PLAQUE FOR BRITAIN’S FIRST GRAMOPHONE RECORDING STUDIO AT 31-32 MAIDEN LANE WC2 |
Notice is hereby given thatthe Cabinet Member for Sports, Culture & Community has made the following executive decision on the above mentioned subject for the reasons set out below.
Summary of Decision
That the nomination for a commemorative Green Plaque for Britain’s first gramophone recording studio at 31/32 Maiden Lane, WC2E 7JS, is approved.
Reasons for decision
As a nation we are proud to have some of the most successful recording artists in the world that make a huge contribution to the UK economy. This huge industry can be traced back to a makeshift recording studio in a rundown hotel in Maiden Lane where opera singers and music hall artists (the pop singers of the day) were recorded for the mass enjoyment of the whole nation and beyond.
