 New - Gig Sheets The process of advertising your tour dates and gigs is now even easier, thanks to Lemonrock Gig Sheets. "Gig sheets are a simple month-by-month view of your band or venue schedule," said Lemonrock's Jane Greener, who designed the new system. "You simply point to the month, fill in the venue (or band), the time, and the price, and it's all added to our gig guide in seconds." "We want to show people how easy it is to promote their live music, so we've produced a demo that anyone can try out, even if they are not a member. "Our goal was to cut down the amount of typing and mousing required to add batches of gigs, and we think we've achieved this," said Jane. "Typically, it now takes a... more » [5 Mar 08] | |

 Lemonrock opens up to festivals and competitions Lemonrock, the UK's best interactive gig guide, has expanded its listings to allow up to 50 bands to be added to any gig. "Until now, we've had to restrict gigs and events to a maximum of one main and two support slots," said Lemonrock Editor, Mac MacLaren. "This is fine for most pub gigs, but now that dozens of acts can be listed as part of the same event, we hope to see more multi-band nights and festivals being listed," said Mac. Mac added: "Venue and event promoters just type the first few letters of each band into the gig form - it's really easy. And if a band isn't already on Lemonrock, our new Auto-Create feature means that it will be automatically created, something that will... more » [11 Feb 08] | |

"Bands and venues will find Lemonrock GT very useful," said Deborah George at Lemonrock.

"As well as adding new gigs, members can list existing gigs; copy, clone and delete gigs; upload photos directly from their mobile phones; and show cancelled and sold-out gigs.

 2008 : No Limits! Happy New Year! Lemonrock is giving you even more in 2008! For the first time, all the songs on the site will be freely downloadable by everyone, and members can post as many gigs as they like. "We had a re-think regarding MP3 cover versions on the site," Lemonrock's Allan Stewart said. "We pay royalties to the MCPS-PRS Alliance for every licensed song that is downloaded by Lemonrock members, but previously we only allowed 20 second clips to be heard for free. We've extended the service so that every track on Lemonrock, whether an original or a cover, can now be heard from start to finish." "While this does mean that we pay more to the Alliance, we think it's better for the many covers... more » [29 Dec 07] | |
