clifford_thornton Posted May 31, 2023 Report Posted May 31, 2023 Not sure if this has been noted elsewhere, but the European Free Improvisation Pages from Sheffield University seem to be done for. I feel like it wasn't that long ago they were still up and running... the John Stevens sessionography being a crucial linked pdf among many other tidbits. https://efi.group.shef.ac.uk/ Anyone on the other side of the pond know what is up?

clifford_thornton Posted May 31, 2023 Author Report Posted May 31, 2023 I don't. Wish I did. Seems to be a rather recent development, as I've been emailing with other users. Quote
Dave Garrett Posted June 5, 2023 Report Posted June 5, 2023 Looks like the Wayback Machine has snapshots up until May 12, but the most recent one that doesn't automatically redirect to an "Account Suspended" page is from January 15: https://web.archive.org/web/20230115182640/https://efi.group.shef.ac.uk/ Quote

The website was started and maintained by Peter Stubley (no contact info, though). Since some years updates were very scarce and then stopped completely. About three/four weeks ago I tried to visit it and it was gone. In case there's demand for the John Stevens sessionography I have it on my pc. (never believe in the longevity of a website!) Quote
ornette Posted October 15, 2023 Report Posted October 15, 2023 I used to work with Peter, before he moved to Sheffield. I'm 74 and he was a few years older than me so he's long past retirement age. Perhaps the University have stopped hosting? Quote
sidewinder Posted October 15, 2023 Report Posted October 15, 2023 It wouldn't surprise me if there is some rationalisation going on in Sheffield University's IT I.e. getting rid of old legacy Web content with an aim to minimise cyber vulnerabilities. Quote
romualdo Posted October 15, 2023 Report Posted October 15, 2023 what a pity - it was a site I ventured to frequently Quote
