There is a Japanese Sid Griffin / Coal Porters / Western Electric fan site by Tot which can be found at http://www.globetown.net/~griffinville |
| New! Tot-Channel: A brand new Japanese / British music site featuring a dedicated Sid Griffin page. With fantastic video footage of Sid Griffin and his bands this is well worth investigating. Warning: this site is in Japanese! So here are a couple of tips: Under the green 'Clips & Personnel' box on the Sid Griffin page, click on the green date buttons. Otherwise just have fun clicking on the blue links around the site. Have fun! n.b. These clips shold work well with PC and Mac OS-10. Mac OS-9 user cannot view them. | |
