This Website was originally created in the Winter of 1995 at
http://members.aol.com/normbrngtn (now closed)
By the spring of 1996 I had re-created the site at www.rsc.co.uk/normanb
The number of visitors reached well over 20,000 between 1997 and
1999, which I consider quite remarkable, considering the obscurity
of the subject matter!
I felt the site deserved it's own URL so I again moved, this
time to www.normanb.net in October 1999, with the finishing touches
made in time for the start of the new millenium.
The website then continued to grow, with overwhelming feedback
from visitors and friends, but soon became unwieldy, and hard
to navigate, I temporarily closed the site mid 2005 with a view
to a complete remake. This time I an turning the one site, into
two websites; this original URL at www.normanb.net becoming the
site specifically focused on Jingles and Radio Production. Meanwhile,
I propose to continue to develop this new website at www.normanb.com
around Radio Caroline and my time on board in particular, with
additional pictures, anecdotes, audio & video in the coming
years. Contributions are always welcome, with acknowlegement the
donor. Additionally I maintain an archive of recorded material,
which I am happy to add to, and will always locate a particular
recording should it be requested. I am also willing to trade links
with any suitable subject-related site. Please email for details.
April 2006
Once these websites are fully developed, the Wnat's New Section
will summarise the latest additions to the site
I can still be contacted
via this link
but pressure of time my delay or
prevent my reply, in which case, please accept my apologies
