With the number of venues and pubs hosting gigs popping up around the county, I think they might merit a separate county listing in the near future. This will give more distinction to the out-of-city events, and restore some clarity to the main gig listing for city events. We will give you the the option to choose whether to view city-only, county-only or both on the one listing.
