Site For Sore Eyes

Well, it's up at last... the website. Apart from a few little glitches that are being sorted, www.nigelsummerley.com is alive and reasonably well.

The idea of it is to promote the various strands of work that I do: journalism, writing, music, drum teaching. Now I'll have to see if it was worth all the effort put in by my friend and former colleague Keith, one of the best systems experts in the media business.

There is probably more information on there than anyone needs to know, but I promise that I've done my best to keep it brief and easy on the eye. I can't bear looking at those websites that have so much going on that, however hard you try, you can't find anything that you actually want to know.

Now I'm A Mail Man

Last week I left The Sunday Times. This week I've signed up with the Daily Mail. Well, sort of. The Mail is doing a promotion this Saturday (January 28) to encourage readers to start learning a musical instrument. It means they'll be able to get a free introductory lesson with musicians who belong to MusicTeachers.co.uk — who include me.

So, yes, I'm working for the Daily Mail, but the Daily Mail could be drumming up some drum teaching work for me in return.

If you have a problem with buying the Daily Mail, you could just get in touch with me direct and pay for your drum lessons. They're £29 an hour — but the first one will be half-price for anyone mentioning this blog.
