Tom & Barbara Brown have a new website - not just about them. If you happen to be in the North Devon area, you'll also find information about folk music in that area, amongst other things. Go to www.umbermusic.co.uk

Hope you like the site.

I'm sorry to say this, but i think your site is rather poor.

'Frames' are a really bad idea. Decent sites lost them years ago.

The image files are bigger than they need to be.

The 'menu' is confusing, and unintuitive.

Having a page that says "Page Under Construction" comes across as being very amateur. If you haven't written the page, ,b>don't link to it

Apart from that, I think you are wonderful, sexy and talented people

Regrettably, GUEST is a recurring problem with these websites. Thought that the Mudcat had a corner on GUEST market, seems I was wrong. Down with trolls! I prefer fairies. Good luck to the new website and all who sail in her.

If you're going to be so critical, GUEST, then please at least identify yourself. It's only fair to those whom you criticise.

Wouldn't you want to know who wrote a bad review of your latest CD project? Give them the same courtesy, please.

A very attractive site, nicely put together. I've added it to my 'Favourites'.

Thank you, George - I wish I knew how to create those blue clicky things!

Lion & Lynn, thank you too - I wouldn't have minded if GUEST had identified him/herself. We can take constructive criticism.

And thanks to those of you who complimented the site!

Ok, I'm called Fred, if that makes you feel better.

Seriously, frames 'suck' as our American cousins might say.

For more information, see my previous post.

Everything I said was meant to be constructive help, and anyone who knows something about web design would agree with what I said.

Sorry that my lack of 'name' clouds your view of my opinions.

Welcome to the internet.
