![Full Peal of the Original Bow Bells Cockney Eastend London 78 rpm
Heres the orginal Bow Bells that all true London Eastend Cockneys are supposed to be born within the sound of to call themselves a Cockney. I got interupted so didnt manage to video side 2,but will do this when time permits.
St Mary-le-Bow (/lə ˈboʊ/) is a historic church rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666 by Sir Christopher Wren in the City of London[2] on the main east–west thoroughfare, Cheapside.
The sound of the bells of St Marys is prominent in the story of Dick Whittington and His Cat,[3] in which the bells are credited with having persuaded him to turn back from Highgate and remain in London to become Lord Mayor.[4] The bells are also referred to in the nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons; traditionally, people born within earshot of Bow Bells are considered to be Cockney.
Much of the current building was destroyed by a German bomb during the Blitz on 10 May 1941,[22] during which fire the bells crashed to the ground. Restoration under the direction of Laurence King[23] began in 1956 (with internal fittings by Faith-Craft, part of the Society of the Faith). The bells as listed above, cast in 1956, were eventually installed to resume ringing in 1961. The church was formally reconsecrated in 1964, having achieved designation as a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950.[1][24]
In the church is a memorial to members of the Norwegian resistance who died in the Second World War, which is in two parts; a commemorative plaque and a relief of Saint George and the Dragon by Ragnhild Butenschøn.
In the churchyard is a statue of Captain John Smith of Jamestown, founder of Virginia and former parishioner of the church.
.A Cockney is a certain type of Londoner. The term mainly refers to speakers of the distinctive Cockney dialect of English used in and around London, particularly by the working and lower-middle classes; especially people from the East End,[1][2][3] or, traditionally, people born within earshot of Bow Bells.[4][5] Full Peal of the Original Bow Bells Cockney Eastend London 78 rpm](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VOb6hB_lfMI/mqdefault.jpg)

![God Save The King sung by Alan Turner 78 rpm
Heres God Save The King sung by Alan Turner from a 78 rpm shellac record pribabkyvrekeased in the 1920s.
The Oxford Companion to Music, Percy Scholes points out the similarities to an early plainsong melody, although the rhythm is very distinctly that of a galliard,[7] and he gives examples of several such dance tunes that bear a striking resemblance to God Save the King/Queen. Scholes quotes a keyboard piece by John Bull (1619) which has some similarities to the modern tune, depending on the placing of accidentals which at that time were unwritten in certain cases and left to the discretion of the player (see musica ficta). He also points to several pieces by Henry Purcell, one of which includes the opening notes of the modern tune, setting the words God Save the King. Nineteenth-century scholars and commentators mention the widespread belief that an old Scots carol, Remember O Thou Man, was the source of the tune.[8][9]
The first published version of what is almost the present tune appeared in 1744 in Thesaurus Musicus. The 1744 version of the song was popularised in Scotland and England the following year, with the landing of Charles Edward Stuart and was published in The Gentlemans Magazine (see illustration above). This manuscript has the tune depart from that which is used today at several points, one as early as the first bar, but is otherwise clearly a strong relative of the contemporary anthem. It was recorded as being sung in London theatres in 1745, with, for example, Thomas Arne writing a setting of the tune for the Drury Lane Theatre.

Lansburys Labour Weekly
In 1912, George Lansbury, Labour MP and later Party leader, was one of the leading lights in the formation of the Daily Herald. After the paper was taken over by the Labour Party and the Trades Union Congress,
The Recordings
Due to declining sales in 1926, Lansburys Labour Weekly decided to market a series of commercial left-wing gramophone records banned by record companies and in December released recording no.6 The March of the Workers and A Talk by George Lansbury, in a series of Labour gramophone records. These records were labelled at the newspapers offices due to the desire to remain anonymous of the record companies who originally produced them. This makeshift production often led to mistakes and many readers often found they had received The Red Flag rather than A Talk by George Lansbury.
In 1927, the paper carried advertisments from Independent Labour Party bookshops for these Labour records. They were 10 inch double sided and priced 3s each (postage 6d), although the whole set could be purchased in a fine red case for £3.1s. Record No.1 was The Red Flag and The International and record number 6 included the original speech by Lansbury. Other records in the series included talks by Ramsey MacDonald, James Maxton and A.J.Cook, along with socialist songs sung by Rufus John and others.
George Lansbury, a Labour M.P. in the early 20th century, founded the magazine of this name in 1925. It survived independently until 1928 when it was merged with the Labour Partys own official newspaper. During this time, he arranged to have six different records produced. Due to the controversial political nature of the records, they had to be produced anonymously with plain white labels, then Lansburys people pasted on the label as seen here. The records were recorded by British Homophone (acoustically) and pressed by Pathe UK.
Jim Connell (27 March 1852 – February 1929) was an Irish political activist of the late 19th century and early 20th century, best known as the writer of the anthem The Red Flag in December 1889.
John Goss (1894-1953) was an Englishman by birth, but for most of his later years, he made Vancouver his home. In the 1920s and ’30s, Goss toured in the U.K., the U.S. and Canada as a recital singer, gradually building a reputation as a world-class baritone.
Goss was also political. As early as 1941, he spoke out at the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Associations, urging amateur musicians to “organize to avoid this ‘sweated labor’ by various well-meaning organizations which offer artists nothing more than a cup of tea in return for their services” (11 July 1941 Lethbridge Herald).
Starting in 1944, he co-founded and later became president of a new organization called the Labor Arts Guild. The Guild was intended to promote interest in the arts among labour and interest in labour’s struggle among artists. A number of the members of the first executive of the Guild were members of the Labour-Progressive Party.
In 1949, Goss was evicted from the U.S. while in New York at a peace conference. The FBI made noises about Goss being a Communist sympathizer. He returned to Vancouver where he was under the impression that he had a job with the BCIMD faculty. Wrong. The BCIMD, together with many others in the city were not interested in a ‘Communist’ joining the staff of the Theatre Under the Stars group. There was no written contract between the board and Goss, and the Board made it clear that he could forget about working with BCIMD.
Goss left Vancouver for England the following year, with his reputation in tatters. He died there in 1953. Keir Hardies newspaper The Labour Leader, and was secretary of the Workingmens Legal Aid Society during the last 20 years of his life
Although Lenin dismissed the Independent Labour Party as bourgeois, he later awarded Connell the Red Star Medal in 1922.[3] The International Sung By Mr Rufus Brown AKA John Goss Baritone Socialist Song 1926 Rare 78 rpm](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WEJuW-Kjjp0/mqdefault.jpg)
