* City of London Phonograph & Gramophone Society

‘The City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society was formed in 1919 as the London Edison Society and is the senior recorded music society in the world. Phonograph and Gramophone Societies came into being in 1911, the first being the West London in the autumn and then the North London in December ... As might be expected, the members of the Society, who number hundreds worldwide, own some fine examples of vintage Phonographs and Gramophones. These are sometimes exhibited and demonstrated at society meetings, which are held on a regular basis in London and the regions.’ As well as meetings in Central London, listed are those of Midlands, Scottish, and West of England Groups.
