Bands From Somerset, Dorset & DevonWhat we have here are web sites for some of the bands local to the Somerset, Dorset and Devon area. If you are looking for a band that you see playing gigs locally, then there is a good chance their web site is on this page. If you would like your band web page featured here then get in touch and we'll put a listing up for you with no charge (but we really appreciate a link back to this site, thanks). Truth be told, this page is just a bit out of control with absolutely no order to the way the bands are listed. At one level that's fair to everyone and at another it's a pain in the backside. Until I resolve that dilema enjoy the randomness of the listings. Look videos of local bands gigging!Some of the band entries below now have a video associated with them. If you are a local band or artist and have a YouTube video of your band playing live, then send us the link and we'll embed it on this page. It's especially nice when you link back to us too. Thanks!
