Hi, knight-
This group of threads (click) on the history of Mudcat will give you a lot of background.
Take a look through the QuickLinks dropdown menu you'll find on almost every Mudcat page - one handy utility you'll find there is Messages By Day, which gives you a snapshot of what was going on at Mudcat on any given day of our history. You should also take a look at our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). I'm also quite proud of our PermaThreads, projects Mudcatters have undertaken to provide more permanent information and ongoing information about verious performers and clubs.
Welcome to the Mudcat Cafe!
