    Our old folk rock band has reformed after 20yrs. Here is the website we have started to put together.
    I would be very grateful for any feedback or constructive suggestions (good or bad).
    Thanks ...

    Derek one immediate thing to note is that you can't view the website from an iPhone . Flash player is not installed on iPhones. Although I don't know about the newest iphone5

    Many people now interact with the web via hand held devices. Indeed I am typing this on my iPhone. I will fire up the pc later and have a look on there. But just a suggestion is it possible to run a non flash version otherwise you could possibly be missing many hits on the website. Forgive my ignorance of techy matters if this is cost prohibitive or just not done nowadays.

    A good start Derek.

    Some random thoughts:

    Some of the Bios links are strange (Glyn gets his fair share).

    Definitely needs more content - some up-to-date tracks (maybe the same ones), to give a before and after feel.

    Would be nice to see some video from the 80s (if it exists) and then from today.

    Strikes me that there was a Steeleye Span influence going on. Or am I just imagining it?

    Will be good to see this develop.

    Regards

    Chas

    Is there any chance that you could rid us of that damned green leaf thing that loops the loop every few seconds?
