Huntingdonshire Music School Association

Just ‘cos we’re nice guys and we can, we’ve created a widget that picks up the feed from our brand new Huntingdonshire Music School group on the Flickr photo-sharing/social site and displays the last 30 pictures. You can then click on a photo to view it in your browser or on the name of the person who posted the picture to see their photos.

Visit the site to get the widget.

Sorry but this will only work with a Mac. If there is someone who is willing to create a Gadget to do the same thing please let us know.

All of us who go there agree that the Music School is a great place to go to.  However, not a lot of people know about us and what our unique points are.  These include theory and aural lessons as part of the package, as well as your individual tuition; ensembles to play in; etc.

We now need some help with getting the message out there.  The committee have formed a sub-group to look at this and have lots of ideas but are in need of a bit of specialist guidance.  So if you have these skills and could spare a bit of time that would be great.  You will not be asked to do all the work but to tell us what would work.  Also you would be welcome to join in the group to help in a number of ways.  We are currently putting together terms of reference for the group so that you can see what would be involved.

Huntingdon Community Radio has been broadcasting for short periods of time under temporary licenses for 13 years now. In fact during the run up to the Big 4-0 (the 40th anniversary of the Huntingdonshire Music School) two of us were interviewed on air about the music school and the musical daftness we get up to.

They will be applying for full-time license from OFCOM - the last time a full-time license will be advertised for this area for some time. They need support to be able to apply for this additional capability for Huntingdonshire.

There’s a public meeting on Wednesday 1st October 2008 at 7pm at the George Hotel in Huntingdon to try and get support. Please turn up and show support as this benefits not only us in the music school but everyone else in the area covered (St. Neots, St. Ives, Godmanchester and Ramsey). If you can’t attend then you can listen live online through your browser if you point it at the home page for the radio station (below).
