Background

Q. There are many web-sites dedicated to music societies in Cheshire, so why produce another one?

A. Have you ever tried to find information about any societies for which you don't know the web-site address?

I have and it tends to be a very frustrating experience unless the site designers fully understand the way that Internet search engines return results. Usually, you have to wade through lots of spurious results and often give up before you get to anything useful! This is a terrible shame for those individuals who have spent a great deal of time and effort developing sites for their group, only for them to be restricted to their membership. It also becomes a real problem if a society is trying to attract new members or audiences

  • The purpose of this site is not to replace other sites which have already been created, merely introduce a simpler way of finding them all

  • This site also allows those societies who have not yet created web-sites but are contactable by e-mail, to get themselves listed as well

  • I also believe that bringing lots of sites together to a common place will improve communication between groups and musicians around the county

    I hope that you will find this site useful. Enjoy browsing (and contributing)!

    Paul Franklin Web-site designer and administrator


    Information about the Categories

    The categories are fairly arbitrary based upon the types of societies I have managed to find on my web searches. I believe that they should be fairly self explanatory but I have placed some guidance below for completeness

    Category Description
    Orchestras Information concerning orchestras of all sizes and age groups
    Operatic Societies Information concerning operatic societies of all sizes and age groups
    Choral Societies Information concerning choral societies of all sizes and age groups, excluding operatic societies which have a separate listing
    Small Ensembles Information concerning all small ensembles (for example: string quartets, woodwind quintets etc)

    Information about the message board

    The message board facility now available!

    The board is intended to be used as means of posting ideas, attracting new members and even setting up new groups

    The only restrictions are selling equipment and requests for duplication of copyright materials (which of course is illegal!)
