Address of Venues / Names of Band Members

We are also trying to compile an address for each of the venues if anyone can help?

We are also looking to add a list of band members and year dates in the case of member changes.
Any information in this area would be greatly appreciated.

A "where are they now" section has been throw into the arena... does anyone think that is a good idea?

cheers... Gruntrat
