Purpose of Blog

Hi all, I'm in an originals band called "Call me DIVA" based in the Rossendale valley.
I've been thinking for a while that it would be a good idea to put some sort of list/review of venues that cater to original music.

I hope you all find this useful,  - if anybody has any venues or additional items that they think would be useful to add then, please email me at janie@callmediva.info
