Attention Artists/Bands! Website Up For Grabs
Mar 8th
This afternoon I have been inspired to work on a musician’s website.
I read an article about the five reasons band websites suck and I now wanted to throw it out there that I’m interested in developing a website for either a solo artist or a band.
I’m not too bothered as to who or what they play, but I think it’d be really great to have a go at a website like that.
You may ask “Can’t we just use MySpace?” Well you could be the problem for the music industry is that many musician’s websites, like MySpace, are very cluttered and it’s hard to make sense of all that information sometimes. A hosted website means that it’s easier to display information in a friendly way and get fans to interact. Websites also look more professional than MySpace pages. For a start you can have a proper web address like www.biggestbandever.co.uk instead of myspace.com/biggestbandeveruk! You never know, a proper site could lead to a big booking!
If you are interested or know of someone that may want a website doing for good money, then please either forward this on to them, or email me oliver@thewebguyuk.co.uk.

Let It Shine! *Updated Audio
Mar 7th
Well today the sun has certainly shown it’s face in South Lincolnshire! It means that summer is on its way. As I type this I’m listening to ‘One Day Like This’ by Elbow, which I think is a great track for the summer mornings.
Seeming as we’re talking about lights and things that shine. Watch this.
Recognise the song? It’s a jazzed up version of This Little Light of Mine, which is a song that you may have sung in Primary School.
Well this morning at KingsGate in Peterborough we had the pleasure of hearing Andy Hawthorne speak. He’s from The Message Trust in Manchester and he showed us this video.
These guys are hoping to spread the word of the Holy Gospel and Jesus across the nation by releasing this (catchy) track. The video has already been approved for distribution by Universal Music across the UK. So you could start seeing it on channels like MTV and 4Music!
They want to get it into the charts and I think they’ve got a real chance.
Here’s a clip from the service, which leads up to Andy introducing the track.
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
The video itself I believe is well put together and is of professional quality as well, so I was interested in posting it as a matter of media interest.
