After many suggestions over the years, we're experimenting with a new subforum here. I've moved in two threads that inspired the idea (it's funny to read what I wrote in one of them several years ago). If others belong here, you are welcome to suggest them to me privately; all requests will be arbitrarily (and probably slowly) dealt with! May I suggest some guidelines:

The interest here is in performances (audio or video) of concertina. They should be readily viewed and not of questionable legitimacy (e.g., links to mps swapping sites of copyrighted music will be deleted).

I'd suggest that CD reviews, festival reports, etc. are better placed in the General Discussion section; links to performances you can watch or hear on the web go here.

A project like the Concertina Big Band would certainly fit here.

If other ideas come up I'll add them here. I hope this promotes the sharing among this widely scattered community that you all find so useful.

Would this be the best section of the forum for discussions regarding audio and video hardware and software? Odd discussions pop up now and again regarding the relative merits of recorders, mics/pickup devices and software for editing audio and video files in order to create the web based media referred to in the threads here. Just a thought.

Pete,

My own feeling is to keep that in General (or wherever it was) and stick to recorded perfomances (rather than how to record them) here.

My tuppence.
