Shifting the CDs

In a burst of creativity yesterday, I set up a merchandise page for Seaview Music. Hopefully this will generate thousands of CD sales for Sambuca and the other groups. Setting up the e-commerce bit was quite easy, with Paypal. Much more fiddly was creating new jpg images of the word 'merchandise' and getting them to match the style of the existing headings on the site. Got there in the end.

The next stage is to try to get hold of stocks of the Chuckerbutty Ocarina Quartet's CD The Classic Ocarina, which hasn't been available since the label Dorian Records went bust last year (without paying the advance...). Natalie Wheen has been playing the CD on Classic FM recently, and apparently plans to feature it as one of her favourites later this year, so we need to get that onto the merchandise page too.

There's a review of the Ely Monteverdi Vespers. How about this - not bad, eh?

"The theorbo player, Peter Martin, charmed us with sexy appeal, combining well with the soloists and shaping the harmonies sensitively and sensuously, adding to the vivacity that these performers engendered in this 17^th century composition."
