Excellent idea! A wee bit slow to load on dial-up, but with so much detail that is to be expected.

I will be alerting a few organisers to this one. Thanks to Jim for setting the thing going.

Brilliant, and the zoom feature is spectacularly good.

the map's a great idea , but are you including Ireland in the UK ? It wouldn't go down well over here .

Looks brilliant to me. Nothing anywhere near us yet though. I'll put the NW Leicestershire Quarter sessions on when I get a minute

Love Lynne

I think the cookie is about the least dangerous thing in my life - I mean you can *choke* on /cornflakes/!

Seriously, the only cookie which this website uses contains your log-on identity, and expires after 24 hours.

"I'm sure that folk north west would tell you where ther are about ten festivals and eighty clubs"

As it says in the site organisers need to post their own events, that's the only way to keep stuff current.

Excellent idea and worked fine for me. I'll add a couple of venues on later once I've registered.

WEll, it sounds a great scheme, but I have ntl cabletv internet access, and I couldnt see anything! Which is not uncommon on sites with any kind of complicated visual stuff.

I have embarked on a new project - a website which allows club, event, festival etc. organisers to "pin" their events on the map of the UK.

I have previewed this with the members of uk.music.folk newsgroup, and it is holding up well, so I am now inviting you to have a look at it too.
