Recordist's notes

Recording from my friends balcony in a street in Colchester, listening to the fireworks and people singing in the surrounding gardens etc. Recorded with Mixpre6 and USI Pro - original recording was 2 hours long but I decided to cut to the main part, as the rest was just silence or distant talking
