INTO music? On the Net? Then check out The Vibe.

The Evening Press has joined with our sister paper, the Gazette & Herald, to launch The Vibe, an Internet site dedicated to local bands and venues.

Here you can find out about local artists, learn when and where the gigs are - and even download a short sample of the band's music to get an idea of what they are like before you go to the gig.

Also on The Vibe is a musician exchange, where a band in need of a drummer, for example, can place an appeal. A Gear 4 Sale section allows musicians to buy and sell instruments and equipment. An advice section will also give hints and tips to performers from those who have been there, done that.

If you are in a band and want to feature - for free - simply contact Stephen Hunt on (01904) 567146 or e-mail gazette@ycp. co.uk

Venues, too, can get a free basic listing.
