The gigging forecast is a reimagination of BBC Radio 4's The Shipping Forecast, and like its template, The Gigging Forecast delivers raw data about the week's upcoming gigs of Popular and Folk music in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The data is likely not exhaustive, yet it is probably the most comprehensive compilation of the week's events, Wednesday-Wednesday.

Order of information: Venue, Date, Act/s (Support/s), Time, Price.

The music, drawn exclusively from selected acts from the week's forecast, is a great opportunity to 'try before you buy', so listen to the show and make sure you see some live music!
