Gloucestershire Unplugged

Unplugged is The Citizen's weekly page dedicated to music in Gloucestershire - the first week it introduced itself: "From rock and roll to rave, emo to electronica, Unplugged is the first place to find out about musical goings-on around the county. Gigs, reviews, band profiles and music news, it is all here, in The Citizen and at www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/unplugged"

I've already passed this info onto a couple of local bands who are already in contact with Paul Jones the journalist organising the site - if you are into music let's make this website work - there has been a lack of a space to share this sort of info - Britain is seeing a resurgence of live music in pubs and clubs and touring jam bands - many more people are doing it themselves - all good stuff and more refreshing than isolated downloading stuff from afar - music can be enjoyed together - let's not get too carried away here but it is also about communities - we sit too long passively receiving our entertainment when it could be great making it with our neighbours...

...ummm...having said that not sure if anyone locally would be interested in a tone-deaf councillor in their band?
