Planning has started for this year’s Gigbeth festival taking place 6-8 November 2008 and coinciding, as ever, with Music Live at the NEC and the Gigbeth Conference.

The website has been launched and, although it’s too early to expect much information to be up there for punters, if you want to perform or volunteer at Gigbeth then the contact details are there for you.

For now, and pleasingly for me, the site has launched the Gigbeth blog to which CiB’s very own Frankie Ward will be contributing over the summer and as the festival comes together.  Go and say hi if you’ve got a sec.
