Its been a long time coming, but we are finally there, and Friday 18th March is going to be a very special day for the UK cigar box scene.

 

After 4 months of hard graft, blood, sweat and beers, the HOME GROWN MUSIC COLLECTIVE will be officially launched, along with details of the much anticipated 3rd annual UK Cigar Box Festival, 'Boxstock'!

 

 

Im not going to say much more at this point as I dont want to spoil the big news, but there is plenty of info regarding the Collective both on the website www.homegrownmusiccollective.com and in the original discussion here 

 http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/thebritsarecoming/forum/topics/... 

 

Collective membership will be opened on the 18th, so make sure you check back in and join up to receive your membership card, 2 x free HGMC plectrums, 2 free stickers, and a voucher entitling you to a £5 discount off the price of an all day 'Boxstock' ticket!

"Do you expect me to talk Roosterman?"

"No Mr.Juju-I expect you to die."

 

Wondered if you guys with websites could lend a hand to really kick start this thing?

If you right click and save the following banner, then put it up on your sites, it may create a bit extra interest.

 

 

For the technical amongst you, you can make it clickable (ie when someone clicks on it they get redirected to the HGMC site);

 

Upload the image to your image gallery as normal.

 

Then use this HTML code;

<a href="http://www.homegrownmusiccollective.com/index.htm"> <img width="300" alt="click me" src="ENTER THE LOCATION OF YOUR FILE HERE" height="275" align="top"/></a>

 

The location of your file will look like something like this;

http://yourwebsitename.com/wp-content//images/LaunchBanner.jpg

 

Adjust the height and width parameters to suit.

Iv already plastered it all over my own site, as has Chickenbone, and its all over Facebook too. If you want to add it anywhere else, please do!

 

Thanks

And thanks to Col too for patiently explaining to me how its done!

OK, I've put it on some of my pages (not that I have huge traffic, but I hope it's worth doing nonetheless).
Every little helps to spread the word... think what it would mean if everyone who came to the festival last year got just one friend to join the Collective and come to Boxstock. Go forth and broadcast the word!!!
just added the Clickable Banner to my website - since i started my website i have had over 20,000 hits so i guess it may get noticed as you say every little helps :)
