This month, we’ve been working hard to improve the format of our gig listings. With the aim of making it easier for readers to find gigs on any particular day, the listings now appear chronologically throughout the magazine. To further aid your gig hunting, we’ve also grouped them by the venue’s town or city alphabetically. This way, if you’re looking for a gig in a specific place, all the gigs in that place on a particular day, will be together. Happy gig hunting!
