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 September edition of Playing Out Loud.
As usual we’ve got pages and pages of live music
listings,
news, gig and CD
reviews and our
Festival Focus section.
A recently introduced feature, our totally revised
Food & Things section is already
proving popular. It lists 160 restaurants and eating places across the South.
We’ve eaten in all of them and given them the POL seal of approval. So
if you want to find somewhere to eat before or after going out to a music gig,
or are looking for somewhere to celebrate a special occasion, just take a look
at Food & Things which is set out geographically just like our Listings section.
We’ve spotlighted some of the gigs of the month in our
Articles section, including alt
country stars Stewboss from the USA, folkies Aberfeldy from Scotland, The Gift
featuring Jam man Rick Buckler, jazz singer Sarah Moule, Breed 77 from Gibraltar
of all places, and Tilly And The Wall, an off-beat band from Omaha.
If we’ve left anything out in the area in which you live, just let us know. We
also welcome gig reviews, news and opinions. Happy gigging!
