I would like to point out, once again; for the benefit of all; organisers and attendees; the importance of keeping adverts for events correct and up to date. I walked to Manchester from Leeds, (once again) in persuit of new audiences and new markets for my poetry; in early May. Only to find, when I got there, after an 18 hour, overnight forced march; that first of all; the venue had been wrongly named in the gig guide, as 'Lloyds Bar', rather than 'The Lloyd' public house; therfore unsearchable on line. Then when I finally found it; waited and waited until the manager finally turned up and told us (bar staff and myself) that the event had been postponed, to fit in with Chorlton Arts Festival. This is typical of Manchester, which at one time, had far more out of date, or incorrect ads, on the gig guide, than ones that were current and correct. I know the guide has been reformed and some faults fixed since then; so it's now fairly reliable. But please, if anyone finds any faults with the adverts report them so that they can be corrected. Not everyone has the time online to double check every event, especially if one is searching for multiple events at short notice. To make the point; I have to add that, following disappointment at the Lloyd, I walked the streets of Manchester in the rain; dozed off in doorways until morning light; then walked home again. 70 miles in 2 days; an amazing walk, but would have been much more so; and less punishing if the event had been advertised correctly.
