Old versions of Internet Explorer
Every effort has been made to make this site look right and work as well as possible in older Microsoft browsers but, to be frank, if you are still using anything older than IE9 you really are walking up the down escalator of life. IE7 and earlier are hopelessly obsolete: they simply can't understand modern web code.

Mobile Device Compatibility
The site has been designed to work well on Apple, Android and Windows Mobile devices, in both landscape and portrait mode: its content re-sizes itself automatically to fit the available screen space.
Audio: - the mp3 player used on our homepage and Audio Archive pages is HTML5 compliant, which means that it will work on the majority of mobile devices.
