New website, new content

As well as a spiffing new re-design of the website, we have a whole host of new content on the site, found and collated from old diaries, notes & photo albums ...

Over 30 new photos have been added to the Galleries. Full-length, streaming MP3s have been made available in addition to downloads. All Marianne's videos been brought together on a dedicated Videos page. There's some new (old?) press clippings, particularly on the Assorted clippings page and for added historical interest there are now gig lists for Jade, the Dave Waite & Marian Segal duo and The Marian Segal Band.
So, plenty to keep you busy.

Also, in our Shop, there are 3 previously unavailable items for sale -

• Rare, original Jade promo posters from 1970 (pictured right). Only five posters were found in storage and just three of them are for sale.
• Signed photo of Marianne
• A DVD featuring Marianne performing live with members of Circulus

Finally, we are aware that, at the moment, a small number of visitors may experience minor layout issues on certain pages. We will be working hard in the coming days to rectify these issues and would like to thank anyone affected for their patience and understanding.
