A New Year - Another New Look!

Is it just me or did 2008 just simply fly by? Anyway, to be honest I'm not really all that concerned about last year, as there's really no time like the present to get things all organised and ready for the new year - hence this rather stunning new look to my website!.

As is happens, I'll be celebrating 5 years of the Cheeky! website this year - That's right FIVE!! can you believe it and whilst looking through the previous versions of Cheeky! in my archives, I've begin to realise that the website has kind of become an archive within itself, and as a result, it will become part of the new web archive.

Another of the articles I started at the very birth of the Cheeky! site is now beginning to yield some rather interesting information too. If anyone remembers the first Cheeky! site, then they'll definely remember the Halifax Archives section which described in great detail how Halifax has changed over the years. Well, 5 years on, we now have information covering the Halifax clubscene which goes as far back as 1994 - that's nearly 15 years of clubbing history.

As you can imagine, this section of the site is quite big, so for the time being it's currently offline until I've updated all of the venues (new and old) so please be patient with this bit (no emails saying stuff like 'the venues bit doesnt work!..' ok?)

Part of the old Cheeky! website used to feature an interactive flash guide to the town centre too - something which started out as one of my many projects I have when I'm learning a new application, and now I'm a bit more clued up on Flash, this guide will return and become part of the clubbers archive section.

As well as all this, I've also decided to upload EVERY single mix compilation I've ever done, which means there's over 40 free mixes available online!! (did someone just say 'free music?..')

I've finally got round to sorting out the radio server too - so with any luck, once the site's up, the radio server will be up and running too.

Roll on February, and let's get 2009 up and running with style eh?

Results and Resolutions

So, it’s officially 2009, the headache’s just about worn off and I’ve recovered from another 2 months of the festive silly season!. Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been out of the festive limelight this year, and there’s been other people in my place at the various bars in Halifax.

This is mainly due to a very early booking which was made way back in the summer of 2008 when I was booked to play all of December at new venue on Georges Square - Namely ‘The Brasserie at The Bull’ so as December went, I spent most of my time there working through a mountain of bookings, which included the New Year..

Anyway - moving on, it appears that I’m in for a busy year in 2009 as not only will I be kicking off my events again, I’m venturing into the hectic world of musical production, soundtracks and remixing. This means that my current setup need a little modifying in order to keep the quality of any work I do to the best standards as possible, so here’s my resolutions for 2009 - mainly aimed at me getting my act together and adding some kind of organisation to my life for a change!..

• Redesign/rewire and upgrade the production studio
• Organise my online profiles
• Get this website sorted out!
• Keep my blog up to date
• Get Cheeky! up and running again…

oh, and pay off a few bills while I’m at it..

Let’s see how far into this list I can get before 2010 eh?
