Contents
Listings
There are a couple of directories of local music:
Aquedukt
Aquedukt Ambitiously tries to cover all aspects of live music scene in Reading. It's useful, but incomplete and misses out lots of gigs at venues such as Global Cafe and some of the local pubs.
It also has a directory of artists, but that is also incomplete, and out of date in places.
Lemonrock
LemonRock is a nation-wide gig listings site which will show events in a fairly wide area around you (e.g. 30 miles away) when it knows your location.
Classical
