Main: From the Library - Vicwardiana

Today on gullar sahir we present a collection of music from the Victorian and Edwardian eras - "Vicwardiana". In fact the programme runs from around the mid-19th Century to around the end of the First World War.

The show covers a wide range of musical styles and genres, from music-hall songs to parlour ballads, from classical pieces to waltzes and dance-hall music, and music from mechanical instruments of the period (plus some rather more recent, but you'll have to spot them). Recordings are a mixture of modern and vintage.

Then please join us at 11am and 7pm Pacific Time (19:00 and 03:00 in the UK) for the latest instalments in our exciting radio adventures - Return to Inverness and The Illusionati in The ZBS Radio Hour.

Today's programme is presented by Elrik Merlin and produced by gullar sahir in conjunction with our friends at the Alexandrian Free Library Consortium of Second Life.
