Fans of Bands
All of our band profile pages include a Fans Of This Band section allowing all members to "like" a band.
If you declare that you are a fan of a band your photo/avatar and a link to your public profile page will be listed on the band profile. If you change your mind later, then simply click on the "I am not a fan" link to be removed.

We will also list your Favourite Bands on your personal public profile page - this allows you to create a set of bookmarks or "quick links" back to the profiles of bands you like. See the screenshot below for an example:

Facebook Users
Facebook users will also be able to publish an update to their Facebook Wall declaring they like the band and inviting their friends to become fans too. See below for an example screenshot:

Personal Gig Lists
We hold an extensive list of events in Leeds, all sourced from the Leeds Gig Guide. All of our these listings allow members to indicate they are "attending" the gig. To find a gig follow the instructions below:
- 1. Click on Leeds music venues
- 2. Click on a venue, e.g. O2 Academy Leeds
- 3. Choose the gig, e.g. Corinne Bailey Rae @ O2 Leeds
- 4. Click on "click here if you are going to this gig"
If you declare that you are attending a gig then your photo/avatar and a link to your public profile page will be listed on the gig listing page.
We will also show your Saved Gigs on your personal public profile page - this allows you to save the events that you want to go to and can serve as a useful reminder. This will also be useful to detail all the gigs you went to.
iCal, Outlook and other Calendar Applications
You can also export your Saved Gigs to your iCal, Outlook or Google Calendar* so that you can access all Leeds gig listings on your iPhone, smart phone or PC.
You can find the link to subscribe in your Profile Management page.
Once you have subscribed, your calendar will automatically be kept up-to-date with all future gigs you save.
* This feature will also work in all calendar applications that support webcal.
