PLAYING OUT LOUD! An online monthly guide to live music in the South. Welcome to the July edition of Playing Out Loud, POL for short. As regular visitors will know, and there are thousands of them making 40,000+ hits per month, our mission is to stimulate interest in live music and let you know what’s on and where 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. But POL is not just a gigs listing site. This month we have expanded our Festival Focus section to cover the huge number of summer festivals taking place: we have gone a bit further afield in our coverage as we know music lovers will go some distance to see particular favourites. An innovation this month is the introduction of our Food & Things section with our Restaurant of the Month review. Other lifestyle-related items will be added including places to go, days out, shopping, wine and special offers. We have also split our Reviews section into Live Gig Reviews and CD Reviews and continue to feature exclusive interviews and reports linked to current gigs in our Articles section and report the latest news in our News section. One thing we are particularly keen to encourage is more response from our visitors, so let us have your ideas on what you would like to see in POL. Also, another new section, the Message Board, allows people to submit comments on anything music-related and advertise records or musical instruments for sale or recruit band members free of charge. We also offer our services, for a small fee, to bands and performers looking to improve their press, media or web content, and help them get more gigs. With over twenty years media experience, I personally know what is required to get media coverage and how to present it, so email me for more details. If you like the look of this website my website manager can also help you set up your own website or improve your existing one. Again, just email for more information. Lastly, if there are any gaps in our coverage of gigs and venues, just let us know. Now get out there and enjoy some live music!  Do you rate POL? If so, nominate us for the Hantsweb Awards 2003 by clicking here.
