Dervorguilla Records

Dervorguilla was a UK record company specialising in Early Music.

Established in 1991, it operating until closing down in good order in 1998. The company produced eight recordings of which we were very proud, and failed through lack of resources rather than any lack of enthusiasm.

We believe that Dervorguilla was only the third record company in the UK, to sell discs over the web.

Many of those recordings were the first public presentation of the artists concerned (Lynda Sayce, Dufay Consort, Concordia, and the rising star of the harpsichord Gary Cooper, etc), and we have been tremendously pleased to watch their progress in musical careers subsequently.

This page has been posted in response to requests; copies of all the recordings are available from Nick Daisley at the above contact details, on special request, and at a price to cover costs. At some point soon i will get around to developing the site to give details of the records.

The spirit of the company lives on in the not-for-profit entity Follybridge Records http://www.follybridge.com, which does occasional recordings of folk and blues performers locally.

IT-Alternative is the host for Dervorguilla Records.

Dervorguilla Ltd ceased to exist as a company and as a financial entity in 1998 - the records are being made available privately, to help defray some of the considerable costs of storage.

All royalties, duties etc have long since been paid in full, and all the artists were offered discs either free or at cost price, prior to company closedown.

If you have any questions or concerns about the above, please address them to Nick Daisley.
