1) people don't tell you.
2) people don't tell you to keep you up to date. Because THEY know it is.
3) people don't tell you when it folds because they are fed up with a) landlord, b) people c) wife's complaints d) all of the above.
4) You will rely on other peoples' hard work, who don't know how up-to-date their info is.
5) you will rely on well presented sites that are demonstrably out of date, except you are not local enough to know.
6) listing websites are not about the ability to make websites, even if you go to the depths of Java/JavaScript/PHP/ASP and hide the cleverness. The clever bit is networking.

There are people in the know that I buttonhole at festivals, they know what question I am about to ask and relieve the sameness by laughing - but they tell me & appreciate the methodology - first hand knowledge!

And I share my information with SADfolk, Glosfolk, Shreds and Patches, Shirefolk, Unicorn, Sabrinaflu and a few other information junkies. They correct my hunches &/or thank me.

It is the way Folkies work & work best, and it is the way the internet works. It is the best you can do with the anarchy that is the web.

Good luck, PAL, but it is not about boasts or HTML - it is about logistics and integrity and that is a long hard continuous slog. There is no respite. And if you do raid my site for info - be a sweetie - credit your sources with cross links. Ask me and I will link to you in exchange. see this for starters

If you don't know my website - you are way behind the curve.
