Overall, looks pretty good, blade. I have a few suggestions that I think would make it more clear and visually less busy.
One would be to linkify the date instead of having the site address splayed out. It will help it look a little less jumbled. For dates that are not threaded here on the board which have multiple link sources just linkify the month, day, and year separately, and if you have to linkify the venue and city as well.
Another that might less confuse people would be to denote venue name with an asterisk and maybe separate venue from city with a hyphen. Alot of these club names actually sound like the name of a city, so it could be puzzling. At the bottom you could just make it known that venue name is what the asterisk signifies.
The dates with multiple photo and review sources that have already been created I feel should not be over-ridden. They would be better utilized if incorporated, reason being, they are already there and serve a purpose.
Another little thing I was thinking is that it's proper home may be in the "live" section just because these are "tour dates".

Yes, I'll take your suggestions on board. I'm just experimenting at the moment to see how it looks on screen

Well done for noticing my deliberate (!) mistake! I've also missed a couple of dates immediately after the Jack Awards. Don't know what happened there. Let me know if you spot anything else. Thanks.
And I've noticed that all the links with a '@' symbol in them don't work.

Maarten also saw them at The Music In My Head Festival - Paard Van Troge, Den Haag. He said the date was June 11. I know on the gig list you have it as June 9.
Music In My Head has it as the 10th. (Backup)

I've had that difficulty with festivals - you read it's a 3-day festival but you don't know which day they played on, so it's a bit of a guess.

Well, you can scratch Ruby's Lounge off the list blade. Brice Shen emailed me back and said, I quote, "I forgot to mention that the photos were taken at the corner hotel." When I first messaged him I asked him what the date and venue was. He replies back with, "The photos were taken on 17/5/2007." The site is misleading because it states that all music photos were taken at Ruby's. Even at the bottom of the pics it says Ruby's. So, in fact the pictures are from the night before at The Corner Hotel.

Mattchew showed me how to make a word into a clickable link, so I'm going to go through the gig list and change them all to say 'Review' or 'Photos' or such like. It'll take a while!

I have been unable to find confirmation of Howling Bells being present at this event. This link gives numerous photographs and none of them mention Howling Bells, unless they are some of the unnamed ‘guests’. I was going to register to see previews of the photos but only professional media people can register, and I’m not one of them. www.titomedia.co.uk/site/show_gallery/249So I humbly and respectfully request that if you have found evidence of Howling Bells’ presence this night, you give us further details. And if they were there, were they playing or partying?
