New Website

Irish Flute
1

Hi all,
I have just finished the first part of a website move/update which I am hoping will be easier for people to get around. I have moved all of the previous sounds etc from the custom-written javascript player and I am now using linked Soundcloud playlists which essentially cuts down my administration by about 100%!

I’d really like to hear some feedback from anyone who has the time or inclination to take a look around. I am brand new to the wordpress system of websites so I hope I haven’t missed anything silly.

I’ve also found and uploaded (with Paddy’s kind permission) four additional out takes, which I hope you might enjoy. Rather than separate these out, they are just listed as one track comprising four sets (about 14 minutes long - Castletown Conners/Colonel Fraser/The Gold Ring/Mulvihill’s. The first set is essentially the second track of mine and Paddy’s CD which we had originally recorded in the B flat, the second set is a “straight” version of Colonel Fraser in B flat, the third set is the Gold Ring and a tune in C. I had previously only uploaded the flute as a solo but with Paddy’s permission I have included his backing which was on the original recording. The last set in the track is a slightly faster version of the Mulvihill’s set from the CD again.

The main links to the website and how I have arranged it are as follows:

Again, thank you for all of your support out here in C&F land. I’m almost out of physical CD’s so I will soon be able to sleep at night again!

Thanks and regards,
Tom McElvogue

Excellent web site and marvelous playing. The navigation is a bit vertical but there’s some excellent stuff in there! Didn’t see any embedded Youtube vids. Cheers!

Thanks Rice Paddy! I’ll be putting up some video links/content this weekend (probably Monday given that it’s St Patrick’s day tomorrow - woohoo!). I take your point about the menuing being a bit vertical and I was leaving space to expand horizontally over the next few weeks but I’m not sure now whether it would be better to see if I couldn’t organise the menus a little better. I’ll take a look on Monday and see if I can figure something out because I knew I wasn’t 100% happy with this part of the site. Thanks for looking and also for the feeedback.

Regards,
Tom
