New chapter

 

My hosting service recently moved to a new builder so now was a good time. Spent a couple of afternoons redesigning the website. Stole some ideas from fellow musicians, the old site was made over 6 years ago and starting to look like it too.

Hard to get work done with two young kids running around though! It should go live in a couple of days if I manage to get some more work done.
