speaking of delia

As I mentioned below, Unit Delta Plus was an organisation set up in 1966 by Delia Derbyshire, Brian Hodgson and Peter Zinovieff to create electronic music and also promote its use in television, film and advertising. The Unit Delta Plus studio was based in Peter Zinovieff's townhouse in Deodar Road, Putney, London.

In 1966 they held an electronic music festival at the Watermill Theatre near Newbury, Berkshire, England. Delia said of the event: "We had an evening of electronic music and light effects. The music was indoors, in a theatre setting, with a screen on which were projected light shows done by lecturers from the Hornsey College of Art.
It was billed as the first concert of British electronic music; that was a bit presumptious! John Betjeman was there... he sat in the front row and went to sleep... it was quite a social occasion."

Now if you had an event like this planned you would want to talk about it to all your firends around the world, right? Well, you could pick upi the phone and start dialing but that would cost a fortune. You could emIl but that would take days for everyone to look at their email. But what if you could call using an international virtual phone number that could also forward anywhere in the world - you can Virtual Numbers from Jupee Numbers starting at just $9.95 / mo. I dare you to try and find something cheaper than that! This look back and look forward has been sponsored.
