RIP hotclub.co.uk

swing68

Alas, alack. The domain name is paid up till 2010 but the site has been wiped. I know a few of you on here are frequent visitors there. Anyone know anything?

The site was a bit quiet of late but if you are going to phase it out an advance take-down notice would have been the right way to do it - or will it rise again? Do tell.

Just tried to log in to hotclub.co.uk and found out it's not there. But as Swing 68 said it's been so quiet there lately.....if it has gone for good I think we at least need to say thanks to the guys who set it up and ran it. It certainly gave me my introduction into the addictive world of gypsy jazz. Cheers......

Maybe Steve is just upgrading the site....he was running the old forum software so it makes sense he'd want to upgrade. Especially since it's a weekend when he'd probably have more time to do it....

Let's hope so - though updating the BB shouldn't knock out the entire site. (For a while even the DNS record was unsure where to go which is usually a hosting thing.) Well said above - a big thanks to the guys there for keeping it going to date.

...and a very big thanks to Michael and whatever crew is keeping this site up. It's a very valuable resource and meeting place. I'd be more than happy to help out, if you ever need it Michael.

looks like rumours of its death were an exaggeration...:-)

meanwhile i see Rocky Gresset is only the second sinti musician to have a superb cd out on the great Dreyfus label-- just beautiful subtle stuff.
