Welcome to the Coda-UK web site
( Covering Welwyn Garden City / St. Albans / Stevenage / Harpenden / Knebworth / Hatfield / Hertford / Hitchin )
Here at Coda-UK our aim is to promote live music in mid Herts. We will endeavour to visit local venues and photograph the live music event. Occasionally, we may even write a review of the gig.
If you are involved with a
local live music venue, or gig locally, you can publicize your gigs
on this web site, free of charge. Click on this link
.
The only thing that we ask is that it involves the local area, specified above.
