If you wish, and we really wish you wouldn't, like to be removed from this list, please reply with REMOVE in subject line.
 
It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows.
