*** A Bermuda website sounding the talents of local musicians was recently launched to music listeners around the world.

Trident Communications and Bermuda.com last week unveiled BERMUDAMUSIC.COM -- the source for Bermudian music and artists to bring their music to the world.

The website will feature local artists and their compact discs' plus a sound sample from each CD. All of the products featured on the website will also be available for sale on-line.

Organisers hope that the website will revolutionise the Bermudian music scene by exposing artists to the world via Bermuda.com's 6.5 million visitors.

"The geographical barriers always present for the Island's artist is gone forever.'' Although it is available for viewing, organisers pointed out that the website was still in the building phase but hope to bring in 1999 with a diverse representation of all of Bermuda's diverse musical talent.
