=========================================

Born in Shepherd's Bush in December 1890, Charlie Rogers was

regarded as a child prodigy who gave public concerts as early as 1899

It is said that he played with the speed of Joe Morley and the tone 

production of Vess Ossman and he certainly took lessons from both.

=========================================

Nicole records were one of the very earliest disc records. They were 

manufactured in Great Britain between August 1903 and March

1906, when the Company finally went out of business. 

Their 7" and 10" records were cardboard based with a "celluloid" 

playing surface, which can be a little noisy. Today they are very 

scarce and it's unusual to find them with their surfaces intact!
