adding an extra W in the toolbar doesn1t seem to work when trying to listen to the alfasound demos.
any further advise?
[keep it clean]

Nice work!
If i had one gripe its that the site is slighly too wide for my screen.

[MartinS]

Nice site David. What a suprise to see a dedicated Cath Baxter page too!

[JingleArk]

Thanks for all the comments so far – hopefully it'll be complete soon – we have the old Jingle Ark videos on there now though.

I hear ya MartinL – will sort it for next time.

Go Pink!

Short Lived But Sweet, David

Thanks For the site, I for one was grateful while it lasted.

As someone else who has been a jingle collector for over 30 years (but not all the time!) its sad to see that you're packing it in David, you've done a lot of real effort and thats well & truly appreciated!

I do hope that you'll not throw the anorak into the bin, and still continue around JingleMad at least?

Hope you have a Hopeful Christmas and A Brave New Year

Sorry to see the Jingle site and Jingle Network News is no more! any one who has not read the news:

I regret to announce that after 30 years of being a jingle collector,
I am no longer enthusiastic about the hobby that has
taken up so much of my time all these years.

It has become a chore and a bore.

I have donated my entire collection to a media museum so that
future generations can enjoy the history of the radio jingle.

I will no longer be producing any editions of The Jingle Network,
for more details of the future of JNN please visit http://www.jinglenews.com

I started this “Jingle Site” (apologies to Pete Wilson – it was not
intentional to take your name!) as a way to get my interest in this
hobby back. Sadly it hasn’t worked and I now have to admit that I just
am not into it anymore.

So thank you to everyone over the years – I’ve made some great
jingle buddies . . . . great bunch of people!

This site will shortly disappear. Grab the audio and video
while you can. The only bit that will remain is the CPMG history
owing to my current arrangement with Ben Freedman.

I hope I’ve done my bit over the years to promote this hobby – I
know you all will continue to do so, and lets hope the sung
identification jingle will once again in the future dominate
the UK airwaves as the ONLY tool for radio branding.

As Ken R would say . . . . Peace through jingles!
