I know there are a lot of folk listings web sites out there. Many of them are local and unheard of outside of the area. Some are fairly specialised. Quality varies a lot. There isn't a single place to go to find any folk event.

I believe there is room for a comprehensive, national, well presented and professional site where you can go to find out what's on anywhere in the country. A 'one stop shop' to find where to see your favorite artists, who's on at your local club, where to go when you are away from home and so on. If you get emailed a weekly programme for your area, even better.

So I have started www.SimplyWhatsOn.com . Do check it out -just put in your post code to see events near you.

OK, so it's a new site and there's not much listed just now so please do add any folk event you now about. It's easy and anyone can add events. (Club organisers - once you've done your first entry it is very quick and easy to add your full programme).

I want this site to be THE place you go for to find out what's on but it will take time to build it up so do be patient and keep checking back.I'm serious about this site. Comments and suggestions are welcome - use the contact link on each page of the site or chat to me at Sidmouth.

Best wishes to all,
Bob
