Thank you for your replies.

I've forgotten everything I knew about blockchain, coins and wallets! My head is spinning now!

After going through all the bumph in my password manager it turns out I've exchanged everything into BTC, except 649 MUSIC.

I'm not going to use bitaddress.org and go for the suggested Electrum. The BAT can carry on dropping into the Uphold wallet that the Brave Browser setup until something exciting happens.

Setting up a paper wallet with Electrum...
I use Linux so I've downloaded the Python sources, transferred the package to an offline computer and run it without installing.
Then, created a standard wallet, created a new seed (segwit), written the seed down and I didn't encrypt my wallet keys with a password.

I am assuming that for as long as Electrum is around then the seed is all I need. Id' like to jot down the other keys too.

This is where I get confused! I thought you have a private key, a public key and a hash of the public that creates the bitcoin address and that it's the bitcoin address you give out if you want someone to send you BTC.

I have found the "Master Public Key" but don't see a private key or bitcoin address. I've clicked on View-Addresses and I get a list of "receiving" and "change" addresses. I guess you get a bunch of private keys in a wallet and I am now looking at them.

I just want one private key along with the related public key and Bitcoin address.

How can I get these keys/addresses from Electrum?

Thanks for the help guys! I can't believe how much I've forgotten! Like, for instance, the fact that I exchanged all my coins!!

you can get the public key on the electrum wallet by pressing the receive button as you can see on the picture.
