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 eographical area
as POL and also includes leisure, travel,
food, fashion, cinema, theatre and
many other subjects.
POL Editorial.
Welcome to the November edition of Playing Out Loud. As
usual we’ve got pages and pages of live music
Listings which includes more
information about the artists and styles than most websites, and in our
Articles section we focus on a few
gigs to give you a bit more information. We cover rock, blues, folk, and world
music this month in the shape of artists Last Night’s Fun, Beth Neilsen Chapman,
Silverstein, Vincent Vincent & The Villains, Rachel Unthank & The Winterset,
Abdelkader Saadoun and Rory Block
Our Coming Soon section looks ahead
to gigs right into January of 2008 to help you plan ahead with your live music
outings. Album, gig and book reviews will be added during the month so keep
coming back to us to keep up to date.
Our Festival Focus section will
return in the New Year, but in the meantime we have a new section,
The Shop, in which we will be offering
music-related items for sale at reasonable prices – vinyl records, CDs, music
magazines like Q, Record Collector etc, music memorabilia, book and much more.
You can also contact The Shop for specific enquiries if you are searching for a
particular record, CD etc and we will try to help you.
