Gig Guide
The idea for this page came when I found a few old gig diaries from 1985 & 1986. It seemed a shame that they might disappear one day. I then stumbled across a couple of obscure band sites that had gone to the trouble of recording their gig lists and that spurred me on. Since then I’ve found a few more sources and, lo & behold, the gig guide was born.
Every gig list on this site now comes from the Australian Music Database, which holds more than 18,000 gigs. This page is a work in progress & is by no means exhaustive. If you still have your old gig diaries then why not get them out of storage and send the gigs across. We’d love to add them.
