Welcome to my revised music collecting site.

I've been collecting and trading live recordings on-line (and occasionally off-line) for a few years now. As there is quite a lot involved in doing this, it seemed like a good idea to gather what I have learned and place it on a web site for the benefit of anyone else who may be looking to enhance their music collection. After all, whilst it is nice to have lots of CDs and other digital recordings to listen to, there is nothing quite like the atmosphere and spontaneity of a live performance!

So, on these pages you will discover where on the web you can find live recordings. I will also tell you about the software that I am using to listen to, manage, manipulate and burn to CD the music that I have downloaded. I'll also try and give some pointers as to trading etiquette and rules, as well as posting a list of the recordings that I have collected and which I am prepared to make available for trading. Turn to the Music Trading section of the site for more details.

As a bonus, you'll also find some information about Twelfth Night (the 80s progressive rock band) and Geoff Mann who was their vocalist/lyricist for a time as well as being a solo performer.

I hope you will find this site of interest and use.
