I set out to build a website to support what I was doing on the The Music Tech Guy UK YouTube channel. I have built websites in the past, but that was along time ago, in fact nearly 20 years ago and I had forgotten how painful a process this is. The Music Tech Guy UK Home Page The first incarnation of the The Music Tech Guy UK's website was built during the tail end of lockdown as a holding place for me to develop content for. I adopted the Waynes World mantra 'If you build

In the UK most small music venues ran on extremely tight budgets and when the income stream disappeared, the non-vairable costs did not and it was enough for the owners / promoters that ran the venues to through in the towel. I have been a great advocate of the live music scene, trying to get to at least a couple of venues ev

For those that don't live in the UK or have no interest in motor sport, the Goodwood Revival is an event that happens in the Autumn (or fall for my friends accross the pond). M

TMTG Logo This was a bit of an impulse the other day. I saw a company advertise that they could put my 'The Music Tech Guy UK' logo on an aluminum sheet that could be mounted on a wall. Now these are obviously designed to be mounted on the wall outside the office. But I don't have an office. But I do have a workshop. In actual fact I have been changing things about in the workshop. The project originally started as a project to add one or two new sockets to the workbenche
