The site has music news, net programmes, a nice search facility, a Live Wire chat with famous personalities, and even online job opportunities. Its alphabetically categorised list reads like a who's-who of the music business. All you have to do is type in an artiste or band name to read loads of stuff on related videos, latest happenings, album and concert reviews, and concert listings.
