Gig Lovers: Public Beta Launch
Gig Lovers was ready to roll out a while ago and I’ve just decided to make it ‘public’.
After an initial period of testing with a few users I’ve been alerted to so many improvements I need to work on over the next few weeks. For example there is a big problem with USA - I need to use Country -> State -> City rather than the usual (for UK) Country - City… I'm currently working on that and should be finished by the end of the day.
Holding Back
Parts of the site I haven't yet activated or I've had to deactivate for the time being while I re-work and finalise a few things.
For example; with 'find gigs by location' you choose your city and it locates concerts x amount of miles away. It works a treat but I've had to take it down due to the reworking of the database with the USA problem (see above)
Review It?
I'd appreciate any constructive reviews of Gig Lovers, I'll always be looking to improve the way in which it works, and will always take what you say on board.
Initial Visitors
I uploaded it about 10 days ago and it’s receiving traffic from Google already - over 200 visitors yesterday - which I know is nothing special but for a site I’ve not yet launched and is only linked to twice it’s not too bad at all.
Anything Else?
I’ve also been working on a new version of the dated-and-ugly Rockstar Game, it's far too basic and dated at the moment. I spent a good three weeks on this, hence the delay in Gig Lovers.

I love this idea, will it be OK for indie bands and up and coming bands to post gigs here? Thinking of my daughters band ( Local Heroes) who need a bit of a boost from time to time, sorry for the outrageous plug!
