If you like a good pint and to sing along with some guy knocking out his version of "dirty old town" on an acoustic with a busted string, then this is the site for you. This site is about LIVE MUSIC in LOCAL pubs, NOT big names in big venue's.
Looks as if this site is mainly for people North of the border.
It's only rock venues but I like it. Could be a very usefull site but more for originals I think.

Led Zep Too
As the name suggests this is a Led Zeppelin tribute group.They have only been together for a year or so and played their first gig at the Red Lion, in High Wycombe on 17th July.
It was a barnstormer. Ask the locals or the landlady for a review. You will want to catch these guys!
Bushbaby
A terrific mix of grunge, metal and pop punk. Loud melodic and radio freindly.And Basher is a really nice guy who takes the time to listen to others.
Some good downloads of some of their songs. This band could go far.
Brody
The lead singer of this Leeds based band has the most powerful voice I have ever heard.And believe me mine is powerful!
But power is nothing without control and this band knows about music.
Seven Law
I saw this band playing a promotional ummmm... gig?Well put it this way, they had set up their kit on the back of a flatbed lorry and drove it to various places. I saw them outside MTV in Camden.
A few minutes after I had said hello and taken a card from them; I got a job to pick up, none other than Sue Whitehouse, The Darkness' manager. After I told her about them she took the card from me and later got in touch.
Well... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them. Check them out before they hit the big time. You can say you were there from the start!
F.U.L.C
This band's debut album is still available from amazon.It is called "Biting insomnia" and it is sure not a cure for sleeplessness. Inventive musical LOUD punky and a bit metal... ah, visit the website hear for yourself.
