It's part of my drive to document and preserve. Initially, it's mostly material that I acquired for my book on the 1970s, "Keg!". I conducted several Zoom interviews Which I think are worth making public. Especially as the interviewees are all past retirement age. And won't be around forever.
I'm particularly keen on recording Derek Prentice's recollections of more than half a century in brewing. Despite my urging, Derek shows no interest in writing his memoirs. But he's happy to be interviewed and share his memories. I already have around two hours of video. And plan to record several more. Coverin his time at Youns and Fullers.
My intention is to assemble as much video as I can, documenting the last 50 or 60 years of UK brewing. The stuff that normally doesn't get recorded and rarely makes its way into books. Creating what I gope will be a useful source for future historians.
I welcome suggestions for people to interview. I already have around a dozen names, which should keep me going for a while.
