Classical Music on the Web UK

Len Mullenger tells us that following a similar redesign of the front page to 'Film Music on the Web (UK)', Classical Music on the Web UK' has now been redesigned by Helen San. A new section of this site (called Seen & Heard, and edited by Peter Grahame Woolf) reviews live concerts and exhibitions. To request a concert review, please email peteralexa@aol.com. Len is also willing to place the CVs of young performers on his site for a minimum charge of £20 per annum. Finally, please note that the URLs of Len's Classical and Film Music websites have changed to www.musicweb.uk.net and www.FilmMusic.uk.net respectively.
