I am involved in music in many ways and have been all my life but am always hearing of artists doing shows AFTER they have happened. How is that? Where is this god like algorhythm at work? For Sydney music people, please look at this page sydneymusic.net?

"When are you going national?" is a question we get asked all the time at @sydneymusic.net
I'm convinced that gig guides do not scale: it's better that they're managed by people within the communities they serve.
So we decided to try a different approach: an old-fashioned links directory instead.
