Franco Cesarelli (Solo Musicians)
I can often be seen busking in the West Midlands for cancer charities. I don't know how traditionalists would view my use of computer generated accompaniment but many appear to appreciate my efforts, and I still enjoy playing at real sessions. I am available as a solo performer in the UK West Midlands within a 40 Mile radius of Birmingham. Making use of self prepared accompaniment tracks I can provide live music for your event at an affordable price. If required I can play with a caller providing a complete barn dance. I have many years experience as a barn dance/ceilidh fiddler. My programme largely consists of lively Celtic/American dance music. I also play quieter items including waltzes, airs, film music and some light classical pieces. My repertoire is suitable for background, listening and dancing. To check my availability and to discuss your requirements please Email funkydelard@hotmail.com or 'phone 01384396706 Alternately you may contact me by signing my guest book.

Spiro (Music Groups)
A 4-piece folk band (fiddle, piano accordion, guitar, mandolin) of 16 years standing, based in the West of England. Much of their music is based on English North Country folk tunes, and is all composed by the band. There is no "solo" playing in their music and the sound is of a complexity and richness that gives the impression that the band is larger than its four members. The ensemble playing of the four is more like that of a professional string quartet than anything else. In the recording studio they play as if they were playing live on stage, and there is no dubbing on any of the tracks.

Freeware and well-featured utility for converting between most video formats. It can be downloaded from http://www.eRightSoft.com. It is powerful and works well, but doesn’t use a full GUI interface, therefore requiring just that little more thought in its use. It is recommended NOT to download this software from any source other than eRightSoft.com because of the real danger that malware could be downloaded as well from such other source.
