• Poster

This disc contains two versions of the same poster, both in PDF format. One version for regions in the world where the international paper size standard is used (i.e. the UK), and one for regions that use the ANSI standard (i.e. North America). The only difference between the two is a slight size adjustment. Just select the version that is suitable for your paper size.

At full size, and using your own computer printer this poster will need to be printed on A3 paper (297× 420mm / 11.7×16.5in) or the equivalent size in North America (ANSI B 432×279mm / 11×17in) and then trimmed down by hand.

NB: If the poster is scaled down before printing, it is also very useful as a flyer

• Video

Preview the video by clicking on it below.

 

This 6 minute video is taken from a concert in the Brunton Theatre, Musselburgh, in Scotland early in 2006. There are 2 options here if you want to use the footage on your website.

 

01. You can link to the footage which is already hosted on youtube by cutting and pasting this URL onto your website:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX5RbEXjdPI

02. A second option is to embed the video into a page on your site by cutting and pasting the following code into your website:

<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TX5RbEXjdPI"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TX5RbEXjdPI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed>
</object>

 

This will show the video on your site whilst hosting it elsewhere, meaning you don't have to upload a large video file.
