Yeah, the split photo shows in my browser now, and does the job admirably.

Don't forget to refresh the page or it will keep on coming from the browser cache instead of retrieving the new one directly from the site

(Just saying - I did, and it imediately showed the new photo - but I reckon sometimes it takes a while)

That photo was featured in a mention for the band in a piece on the Times of Malta website about the 2014 'Music from Elsewhere' festival which they were due to take part in: https://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140706/arts-entertainment/Meet-the-bands-from-elsewhere.526720, and the text of it reads thus:

"Led by Chris Mallia, who originally launched the band as a one-man project around a decade and a half ago, Different Strings is one of the leading names on Malta’s progressive rock scene. Operating away from the mainstream, the band’s music has gradually evolved, with the changes in its line-up reflected in a heavier metal edge now quite prominent in its sound.

Further to receiving positive reviews by local and international critics, the band recently won the Malta edition of the Hard Rock Rising competition, going on to garner the highest-ever placing by a Maltese band in the final phase of the Global Battle of the Bands".

So yeah - it's effectively a one-man project, but that photo is the live band that Chris had put together in readiness for their appearance at the above-mentioned festival in 2014, and so I thought it might be worth using as the band pic on our site, rather than one showing just the main man.

I had a look to see how you'd combined the two options, but the photo is still showing the one of Chris on his own in my Chrome browser at the moment, so I guess Google hasn't caught up with the update as yet.

^ A little (deserved) recognition will do you no harm ... hopefully Big smile

Still waiting, you're right

About the photo, well, I'm assuming it's a personal project (with guests) so didn't feel the need to change the one already there, but take a look how I combined both options.

^ Lol! No, I don't mind...but there's no need to credit me with anything on here - I'm a pretty anonymous type of person really!

PS: Official website link is showing as correct now, but both Chrome and IE11 still give me the old 2006 biography, and I've never loaded that particular page in IE11 before, so I don't think its a browser cache issue in this instance (or maybe you messaged Chris on facebook as I suggested, and are still awaiting his permission to use the updated bio?)

Edit: Maybe you'd like a full band photo rather than Chris on his own? Here's a link to a good one from facebook, uploaded by the band in June 2014: https://scontent.fman1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/10462983_10152190688361935_4885292973172296566_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=0b1ea2852ac5fcbbd332edda553d5b0a&oe=5BCA7D6E.

^ Bio could do with an update, and the current official website link that we have (progdomerecords) leads to what looks like a Chinese gambling site (Google tried to translate it for me, but failed despite several tries).

There is an official Different Strings website at http://www.differentstringsmalta.com, containing a bio by main man Chris Mallia that was updated just over a year ago.

You can probably get his permission to use it via a message at https://www.facebook.com/differentstrings.mt, since it was he who wrote the original one back in 2006.

^ OK, done as you say, thanks

(Definitely don't like to do partial corrections - whenever I pick an album with errors I prefer to go thru all info and do a global update - but that's me of course)

I dont know if this happens often but I simply posted this at the wrong band page... They aren´t even in the archives I guess...

Maybe I´ll suggest them, maybe not... Pls could anyone remove this. I already made a copy xD.

One more correction possibly needed. My browser is currently showing the Tom Slatter album 'Happy People' with one of those irritating question marks that sometimes get inserted in the text when the PA editor throws a wobbler - namely in track 5: Even Then We?re Scared (5:54), which now contains the ? instead of an apostrophe.
