 Please note that we not only have a guestbook but also a discussion forum. The forum can be used by members to discuss all aspects of light music and leave messages giving details of any new CDs etc that might be of interest.

We were founded in 1956, and we have members in many countries around the world. Our aim is to keep all our friends fully informed on the happenings in the World of Light Music, especially with regard to the available recordings on CD. There are many currently available, but few record stores bother to stock them, and you hardly ever hear them on the radio. To assist our members we have a special service which supplies hard to find Light Music CDs from around the world.
