From a video by Caroline Inglesant

The Tumblers Awards 2010 were presented at the end-of-season supper on Thursday 18th March followed by a home-grown cabaret. No written account could do justice to either, so we decided to publish edited recordings of both. These soundtracks have been extracted from a video recording of the event taken by Caroline Inglesant. We were initially hoping that it would be possible to publish the video of 'Towns and Chatters' also, but the room lighting proved unsuitable and the resulting picture quality was not good enough.

To play either recording, click your mouse on the appropriate left-hand button (the Play button). The controls should be familiar to most users, but they are (in order, left to right):

• Play/Pause
• Stop and rewind
• Go back
• Go forward
• Progress indicator (draggable to move forward or backward)
• Mute/not Mute
• Volume (draggable left to quieten or right to louden)
