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 March edition of Playing Out Loud. As
usual we’ve got pages and pages of live music
listings, with news, gig and CD
reviews appearing throughout the
month. Where possible we give you details of the type of music played rather
than just a listing.
We’ve spotlighted some of the best gigs of the month in our
Articles section, including US
blues-rocker Walter Trout, inspired singer-songwriters Jackie Leven and Martyn
Joseph, Canadian singer Rachelle Van Zanten, Black Umfolosi from Zimbabwe and
jazz/R&B singer Sarah Jane Morris.
Our Festival Focus section is back
with a list of dates for your 2007 diary. Already organisers of festivals like
the Isle of Wight Festival, Glastonbury, the Larmer Tree Festival and Trowbridge
Festival are finalising their lineups. The better festivals sell out earlier and
earlier each year, so it’s a case of book early or you’ll be disappointed. Links
are given to each festival to help you find out booking details.
Enjoy your music!
