Start honing your writing skills all you potential reviewers!
Why not put your post-gig comments on Nick's tour to good use? Here's one site that may be worth a try:

This is another that seems open to non-professional writers/reviewers.

And here also:
http://www.fleecegigs.co.uk/Reviews/26/?selected_menu=2
This is the review site for The Fleece in Bristol.
It would be nice to get something up here at the end of February! You can submit direct from the site.
Please let me know if you would be interested. We can give help with any copy tweaking!

It doesn't normally stop at shoes you know... :Angel_anim:

Look, you lot, can we get off the subject of shoes and Paul's little, er, 'dreams', and get back to the objective of this thread! :biggrin:
Is there anyone planning, or trying to plan, on doing a review of any gig anywhere? The reason is that I now have quite a few professional ones being done for some areas, so would like to try and spread coverage out as much as possible. Although all publicity is good publicity, I know!

Live reviews from these gigs needed at above - particularly the first six.
Well I'm going to Cambridge and I'm a member of last.fm so I'm sure I can handle that one.

Super-duper. Thanks, Paul. One down....any offers for the rest?:)
I think I have Debbie on for Sheffield, Leeds and Manc.
Critch, if you do go to Chester, could I hand that to you? Please!
And anyone going to the Newcastle gig - The Cluny's site would LOVE a post-gig review, which you can email to Cluny@theheadofsteam.co.uk

I'll get the Cluny, and Glasgow for last.fm if that's okay... :biggrin:
HarperPR

That's good!
Generally, I now have at least 75% of the dates covered for reviews online and print.
Still need some coverage for Colchester and Norwich - any offers?!

If you like Roy and Nick gig reviews you could always take a look at the archive of witterings on me web site:

Oh, and there's a shedload of photos, too.
I'll cover Brighton the gig and assess Harpic's usual aplomb.

On the assumption i go to chestershshire, i'll do a review. But i shall have to be brutally honest...
"Harpic shall forever more be known as his harpicness for surely it is no longer possible to ignore the fact that he is a god amongst men. Behold, the second coming." :)

http://www.livemusicreview.co.uk
Go to : http://movies.aol.com/celebrity/roy-harper/227127/main
Reviews requested for 'Made' and 'Stonehenge 84'
Has Nick Harper got any movies to be broadcast? What about his exploits up Everest recently?
When's he going to do the deepest underwater gig next?
Down the Mariana [marajuana?] trench off the Phillipines?

Back again on my favourite topic!
Could anyone doing any reviews - in addition to what is in previous posts in this thread - please keep me updated as to who you are doing for (so we don't have two reviews of same gig on one site!), and whether you are putting up on a site yourselves or sending to me to ship out to my-sites-in-waiting.
Thank ye.

I'll try and do the last 3, but I'm not sure I can think of much more different to say...
Anyways - didn't you go to the Williamson Tunnels and St H ones? Sure I saw you there.... :)

http://www.livemusicreview.co.uk
When you go into Live Music Review with 'Nick Harper' 149,000 sites are listed! Does the phrase 'exponential growth' apply to his publicity and growing list of admirers? Or is it just an Internet normal phenomenom? "Sailing on the horns of a tidal wave!". We could be witnessing a mega-star in the making here and it's fascinating to see into the world of the way the public relations people operate behind the scenes, albeit a bit rushed, last minute sort of thingy, slightly unorganised and not meticulouly pre-planned. It's good fun keep up the good organ of your work!

Postings count : nearly 150... what's Paul gonna call me next? "He walked into the room like a drunken groom...?"

Andi, I hope you're ready and set for writing your 500 word gig review from Aldershot?!?!

There's a lonely little goat here that could do with a review - or three.

Well, with only 3 gigs left - if anyone wants to do something for Norwich, Colchester or Cambridge here - fine with me!

Always good to keep the reviews going! Can I mention that a photo to accompany any live review is now the norm in many places, so good to remember if you're planning scribbling a few hundred words.

As we still have a clutch of summer dates ahead, it would be great if we could get a few write-ups out of them!
Anyone going and up for the challenge?:)

This thread is wrongly titled. It should be "Write gig reviews"

Thought on the latest PD's podcast Elliot's review of himself amazing and pertinent to the Harpics :
