Music Goes On - News - Out-of-Court Settlement For Oasis Fans

I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

Fans who claimed they were left with earache after a show in 1997 have won an out-of-court settlement Three Oasis fans who claimed that they were left with earache after a show in 1997 have won an out-of-court settlement.

The three checked into a hospital after the show in Hanover (Germany) and presented the £3,700 bill to organisers Hannover Concerts.

The organisers have now agreed to pay the medical costs.
