Congrats! Now just get users to it and you're there!

Thanks Jed,

I don't know how many people still look in but, to date, 123 people have joined.

The forum is quiet and I think always will be, at least compared to Mudcat!

The area that has gone very well is the song database where we have about 170 traditional songs so far all with notes and with some of the "usual suspects" from here providing useful information as they continue to do here.

Our choice of using abc as also proved useful and within our small membership we have been lucky enough to gain Phil Taylor (author of Barfly) and Wil Macauly (author of Skink) so we have some real expertise on hand!

ABC itself has worked well for us. We can offer any song in the database in any key you want and as an abc, a midi, a "draft" png graphic or a "print quality" pdf with all the words.
