Welcome to
PLAYING OUT LOUD!
Welcome to the latest edition of Playing Out Loud,
POL for short, a monthly guide to live music
in the South of England, with gig listings, articles, interviews, news, CD and
gig reviews and much more. We now get nearly 250,000 hits per month, reflecting
the success of our mission to stimulate interest in live music in Hampshire,
Dorset and Wiltshire and parts of adjoining counties.
Jazz, pop, blues, folk, country, rock, soul and classical music are all covered
- if it’s live it’s here. Just click on the headings above to go where you want
to go, or use our search engine to keep track of your favourite artists.
As experts in the music media field with a host of contacts in the music
industry, we also offer our services, for a small fee, to bands and performers
looking to improve their press, media or web content, and get more gigs, and to
venues wishing to raise their profile and pull in more customers. Please email
me for more details. And if you like the look of this website our website
manager can also help you set up your own website or improve your existing
one. Again, just email for more information.
 And
don’t forget to look out for AND Magazine where PLAYING
OUT LOUD has a
double-page spread in each issue. The magazine covers the same geographical area
as POL and also includes leisure, travel,
food, fashion, cinema, theatre and
many other subjects.
POL Editorial.
Welcome to the belated April edition of Playing Out Loud.
We managed to get the Listings in
place before the gremlins attacked, but apologies for the lateness in updating
our Articles section which covers
gigs in the second half of the month in the South of England.
There you can find previews of wry folkie Loudon Wainwright III, former Traffic
man Stevie Winwood, blues rocker Johnny Winter and much more.
Coming Soon features short listings
of what's on in May and will soon be updated with June gigs.
Festival Focus tells you about
Festivals right across the South for the rest of the year and will soon be
updated with the latest bookings. Gig
and CD reviews will follow later.
Again apologies for the gap in our service - please keep coming back as we fill
in the gaps!
