YouTube Link

All of my YouTube uploads are available on my channel, which you can access from the link above, but I have catergorised them here into the BBC Micro Music Demos, TV Adverts from the Latter part of the 20th Century, Music Clips from Soundfonts and Midi Files, TV Clips/other stuff, Slideshows and Trailers/Seasonal stuff.
