You will know by now that that www.petetownshend.co.uk
has shut down. 

I decided to do this rather suddenly. The Who are
large in the public eye. The pt site is rightfully
celebrated. I felt it best to quit while ahead. 

Why? I need to concentrate on my writing this year. I
need no distractions.

Matt Kent deserves special praise for his commitment
to the pt site. He was not forewarned about its
closure. I've asked him to continue to work for me
running this site, and the pt site will be used as a
basis for special project sites in future. 

I am also keen to see Matt running a NAKED EYE website
for The Who this year, giving every member of the band
the kind of outlet for their ideas and opinions that I
have enjoyed. Obviously, this is not something Matt
can achieve without the full cooperation of the band,
their management and various contracting record
companies. We shall see what happens.

It will take a little time to gather all the vital
collateral from the pt site and set it out on this
site. I'm sure Matt and his colleagues at FiveEye who
now administer and Host the site for us will do a
great job.

What will the difference be? You will see less of my
personal postings. I'm sorry about that. I have
enjoyed writing them. But there is no managable
pathway for feedback from you all, and if I put one in
place I would need 50 secretaries to deal with the
responses. I sometimes feel I'm working in a bit of a
vacuum. 

News will still flow. There will still be regular free
music postings and occasional interesting QuickTime
video postings.
