Links to This Site

So far this month I've counted (via the site stats) fifty inbound links to this web site. This means that during December, a large number of visitors to George Groves - The First Sound Man had clicked on links contained within other web pages and blogs that had directed them to us. (This excludes search engines like Google and Yahoo). It's interesting to track down where the links emanate, although for one reason or another it's not always fruitful. However, a couple of interesting sources that I've just identified are worth reporting.

Gotham Gazette
The Gotham Gazette from Gotham Sound and Communications says:

" For a lot more on the redoubtable George Groves, check out http://www.georgegroves.org.uk/, a fantastic online tribute with anecdotes, pictures, media clips, and more. "

I do like the Gotham Gazette's strap line
All the noise that's fit to print !

syncsoundcinema
Plus sync.sound.cinema says:

" Listen up, sportsfans: Anyone interested in reading about one of the instrumental figures in creating synchronized movie sound would do well to check out A Tribute to George Groves-The First Sound Man."

The site is receiving many more favourable mentions but, more importantly, George Groves is starting to get the real recognition he deserves. The plaque unveiling at his place of birth in St. Helens, England ten years ago was great, but it was essentially a local tribute. However, using the World Wide Web his place in the history of the development and use of production and post-production film sound is slowly being cemented.
