Site designed using features
 from the following websites.

 

 AAA Buttons - Free buttons !!

                                                                                   

         Welcome to our website

Mike and I are both keen music fans and amateur photographers, hence this site
combining the two. We especially love acoustic guitar music and Celtic style fiddle
playing, so our friends Gordon Giltrap, Cathryn Craig and Brian Willoughby,
Strawbs, Keith Pearson's Coup De Grass and Ian Cutler ( Hot Rats ) feature heavily
in these pages.

Since completing my University course I am now lucky enough to be able to combine
my passion for music with my work. I have just built and now run a brand new website for Gordon Giltrap who recently along with Raymond Burley asked me, to become the booking agent for their duo DOUBLE VISION.

To find out more about the duo click the Double Vision button or go via the Agent
or Gordon Giltrap homepage buttons.

I have also taken over as agent for Gordon's solo work in Scotland and Ireland.
His bookings in England are still handled by Routes Music ( Speaking Volumes )

The success of the new Gordon Giltrap website has led on to requests from other artists to build sites for them. If you would like me to build one for you, or update an existing site, please get in touch.

Also on this multi purpose website you will find a selection of my other photos and
the stories behind them. It is predominantly for fun, aimed at friends, family, and other fans
of the musicians featured, but there is something here for everyone, and everyone
is welcome !

The site is always changing, so look below to see what's new.

In the meantime - enjoy your visit, sign our guest book or email us with your comments, and come back soon !

Raymond Burley New website

I have just finished building another new website - www.raymondburley.com for Raymond,

A new path for Sue ?  August 2007


I recently finished working on creating a brand new, very extensive website for my good friend  acoustic guitarist
Gordon Giltrap which is now live and has been well received by Gordon's fans.

There are many added features including a brand new discussion board.

The site is www.giltrap.co.uk so why not go and take a look ?

Quote from Gordon:

'Sue.....it's getting better by the day this old site of ours, you really are a star! 
Will NEVER take for granted your outstanding input to this site, you're a one off and irreplaceable. Thanks to Mike also...such good pals.'

Since finishing the website for Gordon, I have been asked to build several others.

So far, other completed sites include:

 

www.stevemarsh.uk.com

Steve is a classical guitarist, composer and music publisher. He is available for performances and commissions and has released several CD's. He is currently working with Gordon Giltrap to make all of Gordon's music available in notation.
 


Quote from Steve: 'Thanks again, it's so wonderfully refreshing in this day and age to find someone who is 100% reliable and good at what they do .... you're a star!'

www.kmanimalcare.co.uk

Kate Lambert approached me to set up a site for her new business. If you live in the Medway area of Kent and need any kind of small animal care, then Kate is the person to talk to.

www.amandalynnemusic.com

Lynne Barnes is a music agent with a rapidly building list of artists including Cathryn Craig and Brian Willoughby, and Saskia Tomkins and Steafan Hannigan. Her site went live August 2007 and Lynne is now running the site herself.

If you have a look at these sites and would like me to build one for you, please get in touch. The sites are easy for you to update yourself from any computer and my fees are very reasonable. Just email me for more info by clicking the Contact Us button to your left.
