Early night? August could be big.
Each month I experiment slightly with the listing - this time I’ve largely dropped the ‘Add to your Cal’ buttons as I’ve compiled the guide. They take a lot of time to create and don’t seem to be used much. Instead here’s a link to Mikiie’s Gig Guide Google Calendar for readers who use digital calendars - you might find this more useful than the Add to Cal button. Let me know what you think. Mikiie’s Gig Guide Calendar.
I’ve also had a number of readers say that the listing hasn’t loaded or displayed for them - so I’m still working on an alternative website which should address this issue. Maybe the published Google Calendar might help? See you at a gig! Mike J
