Going to need help from you guys...

Since we've got a pretty healthy membership count now, I feel it's time to do something that I've had in my head for a while - a venue database; one for original bands, and one for cover bands.

Obviously, I can't do this on my own. I'm going to need you guys to contribute. So...do you all think you could put some effort into this? It'd just be basic details - like name, location, contact info (and preferably a Google Maps reference, if possible).

Given how difficult it can be to get gigs these days, I think we can all benefit from this. What do you reckon?

Sounds good to me!

meltedbuzzbox

great idea. I'd be willing to add to it. 

digitalscream

Also...suggestions on what info we should include would be helpful

BigMonka

How about doing it on a google map with pushpins for the locations and details?

That's the eventual plan, if enough people give me Google Maps references

For those of us in Essex this site is a fantastic resource - and may get the creative juices flowing

Great idea. I'll be able to add a few around Warwickshire.

IanSavage

Yeah, I can chuck some info into the pot.

I can have a go at a few for originals in Manchester. Good idea BTW

digitalscream

OK, that's enough people for me. I was just gauging interest...looks like it'll be a go-er. I'll sort it out this evening (I'm happy to manage it on an ongoing basis).

I love that site.  Very simple, so straight-forward. 

EDIT -- and another good thing about it is that if a band or a venue doesn't have any gigs listed then they fall off the site.  So basically, it's always up to date. 

And you've reminded me that we need to stick some of our 2015 gigs on there!
