Nice to hear from somebody else who works in broadcasting and is also
interested in banding. I work for the BBC (television now, radio previously)
in the computers side, responsible for looking after Newsroom systems
(Basys). If you're involved at all with TV2 in Denmark then you'll know all
about Basys (grin).

As I haven't introduced myself in this mail group I'll take this opportunity
- I play front row cornet with Godalming Band (3rd section locally, 4th
nationally UK), and provide their web space at
http://www.compulink.co.uk/~frodo/ . I also have my own page linked from
there, so rather than take up any more bandwidth here, I suggest that if
anybody is interested they go and have a look (if you can :-))
