About Baconmusic

Baconmusic is a good old simple music website.

Started back in 2000 and initially designed as a music technology website offering free audio clip downloads and MIDI tutorials it has since evolved into a user-driven news and review website which is kept alive by non-paid writers at a grassroots level.

User Driven

All of the Baconmusic writers contribute because they love (and live) music.

This makes Baconmusic a great place for people to discover and contribute on real music stories, written by real music fans for real music fans.

2008 Re-vamp

In October 2008 Baconmusic was re-vamped with a new design and backend.

Drupal, the CMS which ran the site for over 2 years was dropped in favour of WordPress.

In order to achieve a fast turn around the site was themed using the quite wonderful Guzel Magazine Theme created by Ahmed Fouad over at www.customthemedesign.com.

The design was overseen by Kimb Jones, a Northern England based Web Developer who is Creative Director of base6 Design Ltd and is the owner and editor of the Baconmusic website.
