I've been hosting the Clips site for about a year now on my business web space. As I'm looking to expand my business web presence and will need to utilize more of my space, I'm unable to continue hosting the Clips site. Unfortunately, it is looking for a new home. Some have volunteered in the past to host the site, so if those of you that were interested still are, then please let me know. It's our hope not to have to delete the contributions received over the past year, but anyone wanting copies of the clips should download them soon in the event no one gives Clips a new home.
Tony Higgins has done an amazing job as the webmaster and he'll always have my thanks and admiration.

I'd have to go check on the exact number, but would suggest a minimum of 300 (I have 500) for the site. Whomever takes it on might want to encourge people to post on their own sites while Clips provides the description and link; more of a central area/clearing house, so to speak.

Tell us something.: A long time chatty Chiffer but have been absent for almost two decades. Returned in 2022 and still recognize some names! I also play anglo concertina now.

Our thanks to you, Teri-K, for graciously providing the space for so long.

Hi Teri,just to say thanks for providing a great resource for us enthuisiastic amateurs!Whilst the value of Clips as a learning resource has been previously debated(and i'm of the opinion that i've never heard a player that i didn't learn something from-even if it's what NOT to do!),it has given me a chance to hear others with an obsession for whistles and Itrad.Its been a great spur to practicing and (slow!)improvement in my own playing.Long may it continue if anyone is gracious enough to provide us a new home!

I'm very relieved Clips'n'Snips will continue. Some of the tunes posted have become part of my playlist. It's one of the only ways I have to learn from other people.

I have improved through the use of Clips n Snips. Trying to make a sound clip to send in takes lots of practice and lots of mistakes, but that's how one improves. Thank you for the website.
One question, though. Do the songs on there, now, get dumped?

John - The contents of the site will be moved to a new location. Whether or not some tunes will be removed is up to the new host. If I had continued to host, I probably would have done some housecleaning to remove clips older than the first of this year. It would be nice to keep everything, forever, but not really practical.
