Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted anything to this list although some

Ottawa musicians have taken advantage of the service the last several

months.

First, I'd like to extend compliments of the season to everyone on this

list that's provided for the use of Ottawa musicians, venues and people speaking

on their behalf.

Besides the Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide calendar where musicians, venues
etc. can post their gigs, the following are other avenues where you can also send
info on your upcoming events to be sent to the subscriber lists involved:

Liz Sykes' blog, Ottawa Blues This Week Email: ottawablues@rogers.com
Jazzworks Canada web site Ottawa Jazz Happenings Email:
ottawajazzhappenings@jazzworkscanada.com
OttawaJazzScene.ca web site Email: Editors@OttawaJazzScene.ca
Other music news can be found an the now 288 member

Facebook Group, Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide.

If you're a Facebook member, check out what else is going on
in Ottawa and area and consider this service that's available to
help spread the word on your gigs via this popular social network.

If you're not a Facebook member, the above link gives you the
opportunity to join and spread the word using a new feature, an
Events area on this group.
I've tested the capability of this service and it has promise if used. As a test,I
entered the details of the upcoming John Geggie New Year's Eve bash at NAC 4th
Stage. If you check it out, you will note that there is plenty of capacity to copy
and paste the full details of a gig in the Events area that is easy to use.

16th year of free service to Musicians and Fans of Blues, Jazz & Swing with thanks for the support of Arts Freenet
