 Venue Accessibility Information Lemonrock has introduced Accessibility information for all venue pages. "We have added this feature in the light of the recent changes to the law, notably the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)," said Lemonrock's Editor, Mac MacLaren.

 New - Dep Diary Due to popular demand (you know who you are!), Lemonrock has created a brand new Dep Diary in addition to its already successful public diary that shows free dates for bands and venues. If you are available for gigs as an individual, you simply use your existing profile, or you can create a new artist profile, and add your details. You then create a diary for the new player, and specify what instruments you play, when you are available and how far you can travel. Bands who need a dep simply search from their own town, specifying the instrument required. A list is then shown of suitable candidates! We hope the new Dep Diary is useful to everyone!
