Sorry all, been away for a few days (must get a dongle before Sidmouth!).

Mr Red - Thanks for you comments. Much appreciated. The thread title is, of course, hyperbole to attract attention (although it would be nice). I understand your points on keeping everything up to date - these issues have already been raised with me and it may well be the big flaw in the plan. I have some thoughts on this and we will see how it develops. Maybe I will fail but I think it's worth a try. I like a challenge!

I was not aware of your web site. Behind the curve? No, just an ordinary folkie who didn't know about it and failed to find it through Google. I guess there's thousands like me.

Arthur-itis - You haven't discovered the quick way to enter similar events! I will make this more obvious. When you've entered an event once go to "Add event" and you should see that event listed under "Your previous events". Click on the 'Add to programme' button for that event - you get taken to a single page where you can just change the date and artist in a few key presses. You're in a loop then and can keep adding to your programme until you decide to quit. I find it very fast. (That said, I also have an outstanding to-do note to add a save button on all edit pages.)

Links should open in a new tab/page. I'll fix it. Thanks for the information.

BNP - I have already accepted this as an issue. My current solution is that if someone edits an event who is not the original poster the edit will be submitted for moderation before being displayed. That should reduce the moderation to a managable level and remove the need for you to monitor your events while allowing you to edit as you wish.
