I travel all around the UK with my work and quite often find myself staying away or working late in an area some distance from home.   When this happens and traffic or logistics allow I try to find a local session for the evening for a bit of company or entertainment.

Searching the internet is quite labour intensive at a local level.   I use the Hobgoblin 'what's on' site, Folk Orbit, Mr Red, Folk Roots, and various other local listings.   Then somebody sent me a link to 'Folkmap' and my eyes opened to a whole load of sessions and clubs - at a glance...

Folkmap

I can see all the clubs/sessions etc at a glance... on a map
I can list all the clubs/sessions for a particular night...   on a map
Each venue has a contact number to check...   on the map
As someone who uses maps every day I find this display medium a lot easier than the rest...      What do you think ???
If it looks simple it must be...   so stick a pin and let us know where you are - at a glance      ;0)
