INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

I live in a small village in Derbyshire,UK. I write and record instrumental music in the Joe Meek/Tornados style, ie Telstar sounds. I have released two 21 track instrumental cd albums which sold well and was part of another album with two ex Meek artists. I use a Yamaha Tyros 4, a Hammond XK3, a Technics KN6500 and the Selmer Clavioline. I record in a studio on the third floor of my home. As they are getting quite rare, I have managed to locate 7 claviolines which I am having overalled. I started playing in the late sixties and thats when I first played Telstar. I then played organ in a top UK Elvis tribute band and we played at all the worldwide Elvis UK Fan Club Conventions in many countries. A few years ago I wrote an instrumental for a brand new 3 million pound steam locomotive. The number, TORNADO is on You Tube as is Telstar. Enter song title followed by Byron Elwell. Any musicians can e mail me details of their music and I will put it on my web site.
Keep enjoying the instrumental sounds of yesterday.
