Way to go. The point of doing it was to empower people to put on gigs. The most common moan is, 'you never play anywhere near us' so we threw it back at people and said, 'find a village hall and get on with it' We backed them up every way we could with our own publiciity and posters flyers and relevant material and we did two long tours of shows like that. There are regular gigs from that period in existence now because people enjoyed doing it and carried on. Everybody wins. Anyone who hasn't got the gigs they feel they should have or need could do the same. Village halls are excellent because they are underused and cheap to hire. If you can also mobilise a community to be curious about such an event then even better. Best of luck.
