This is just a reminder on gig listings as mentioned below by Brett Delmage, Editor, Ottawa Jazz Happenings that to have your gigs highlighted to people who may be interested, there are deadlines to ensure the word gets out soon enough. For Liz Syke's Ottawa Blues This week, normally sent out early in the week to her list, it's also a good idea to send a gig listing as early as possible to ottawablues(a)gmail.com In the case of the Ottawa Blues, Jazz and Swing Guide DIY calendar, it's also timely to remind those who wish to post their gigs on line, it's better to post them sooner than later on that calendar. See graphic DIY guide at this link: http://ottawa-blues-jazz.ncf.ca/MonthsCalendar.html . As you probably know, I send out my Ottawabluesandjazz list mailing from time to time to approx 350 subscribers when there are noteworthy gigs I feel should be highlighted that appear on the calendar at my discretion. So, if a gig is posted on the calendar, it's more likely to be highlighted and get better play to your potential audience as the Brian Brown gig at NAC 4th Stage this Saturday was in the 27 October mailing. Even if I don't send a mailing for the week of the gig, more people are likely to see it if posted.

We didn't want you to miss the opportunity to hear them, so we are issuing an update this week. A Note to Performers -------------------- Please submit your event notice as soon as you know about it, even if you do not yet have all the details. We will list your special event for two editions if we receive your information early enough. We keep track of upcoming events well into the future and already have events recorded up to May 30, 2009. Every local venue has failed to provide timely or complete information at some time - so please let US know directly about your event if you want people to know about it. Send your gig notices to OttawaJazzHappenings(a)JazzworksCanada.com . Please do NOT send notices by replying to this email -- they'll tend to get lost. We also welcome notices about unusual jazz events from readers, as some organizers fail to get the word out, or are unaware of Ottawa Jazz Happenings. We never mind hearing twice about an event; that just makes sure it gets in the list. Thanks!
