ace1010 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I made a website that lists upcoming gigs in Sheffield with direct links to Spotify and Grooveshark.

rrrichyrich Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Quite a good idea. Perhaps a facebook/myspace link option would be handy as well, especially for the bands not yet on spotify. that way you should have musical links for all. Couple of things also... Carmen Ghia & The Hotrods are one band, Allo Darlin' are on Spotify, and there are a few duplicates, but it looks like it could be helpful when deciding who to check out. If it does prove popular, a more catchy web address wouldnt be a bad idea as well. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit it's far from finished yet, but if people think it's useful I'll spruce it up a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susil Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Top idea, second the idea about sourcing the music from more places - lots of bands (mine included) use soundcloud, a link to that would be pretty easy to add. The one criticism I have is that the list format looks pretty monolithic. I see you're default organisation is by date - would it be worth taking that all the way, and presenting the gigs on a callendar? Then, clicking on each date would bring up the more detailed listings for that day, including the links to the music? Also - how is 'popularity' calculated?

Vintage65 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This seems like a really good idea, it is going ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The calender idea is a good one too, might make it easier than searching through one huge list. The popularity is from spotify. Not to good for smaller bands, but It's the best way I can think of at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worth a Tramlines section nearer summer - I spent hours on MySpace searching for bands last year. Having them grouped together would make your site a massive bonus.

ace1010 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi, just thought I'd let you all know this is now updated with quite a few of the bands playing at tramlines this year. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
