Our famous gig guide enables event organisers to have their listings automatically appear monthly, or weekly. Over Christmas this means the gig guide might show an event that is not actually on.
 
And, event organisers, PLEASE get into your gig entry and click cancelled – easy peasy. Otherwise you might have aggrieved punters bah-humbugging all over the joint. And please use the "cancelled" button where appropriate, for bad weather, for example.
 
We have written to all gig organisers to ask them to update their information, but it is worth checking via the contact details before travelling. We might have the nation’s favourite open-mic poetry gig guide, but we really need you to help us avoid problems over Christmas or during storms and tempests.
 
Oh, and don’t forget to to use the comments box on your event listing to write up reviews of your gigs.

Thanks, and do have a truly poetic Christmas. And a mince pie, or two. Enjoy!
