I Me Mine.... Hanmade by Hannah

 

Hello! Welcome to The Hanmade Website! As you can guess, this is a little page about.....Me! The website designer/owner/whatever. My name is Hannah Tobin and I live somewhere in England. I first had the idea of making a website way back in 2000. I was still at 6th College then and I can clearly remember asking my IT tutor about the basics of uploading a website (I was having problems with the index page!). Since then, the site has had many make-overs and I've learnt lots of new skills and hopefully come up with different ways to make the site new and interesting. I studied Multimedia Computing at University and it helped me develop my sites further, but a lot of it came from practicing and just generally messing about with designs over the years!

The Hanmade Website was my first site and from this I've designed several sites. One of them is the locally popular Covfolk Online (www.covfolk.co.uk), which is a place for folk/acoustic fans. I also design/maintain the Warwick Folk Club website (www.warwickfolkclub.co.uk), Dave Fry Online (www.davefry.co.uk), Helen Kenworthy Online (www.helenkenworthy.co.uk) and Chris Tobin Online (www.christobin.co.uk). I also designed/maintained the website for Brummie Skiffle band, The Gravelly Hillbillies.

I hope you enjoy reading some of my concert reviews, some of my exciting Beatles related events - Including trips to Abbey Road, attending the Concert For George, oh and my photos of when I saw Yoko Ono in Coventry!!!! And not forgetting the many times I've seen some of my favourite musicians from Nashville. I first saw Kevin Montgomery, Robert Reynolds, Paul Deakin, Pat Buchanan and Jeff Finlin in September 2000 - The year this website was born! I think I've seen them (in one band or another!) every year since!

I've also got my comedy favourites too. I met the great, Rik Mayall in September 2005 and it was a day I'll remember forever! I've also been lucky enough to see episodes of My Hero and Little Britain being filmed. You can read all about these events and more in the Reviews section of the website.

So whether you're a Kaiser Chiefs fan, a Busted fan, a Mavericks fan, a 60's music fan, a Beatles fan or just a lover of great music! Enjoy your stay here - A splendid time is guaranteed for all!
