'This is a great idea and something I have been thinking about for a long time. Never too old to rock!'

Following the success of the London gigs, Rock-Til-You-Drop is putting on its first out-of-town show on the 1st July, in Guildford.
R-T-Y-D is dedicated to supporting and promoting mature rock musicians, bands and music fans. The gigs, as well as promoting those that continue to play original material, also aim to provide a regular meeting place for older musicians and music fans who want to maintain a passion for live music at a local level. They are also a networking opportunity for those hoping to meet others in the same boat, or join bands.
The pub-rock circuit is, as it should be, largely the territory of young bands trying to make the big time. While there’s no reason why young and old musicians should not play together, us older musicians and music fans naturally feel a bit old on the kids' scene. ROCK-TIL-YOU-DROP is a chance for us to create a scene of our own.

ROCKING OVER 40 is an on-line musical repository and community of musicians and bands that are 40 years of age or older. It is run by its founder Lex, in Montreal, Canada. If you register you can upload your music, videos, pictures, blogs, gear suggestions, sales, gigs and/or tips and tricks. So please check this out too.
All these sites have the same basic aim, which is to raise the profile of mature musicians and bands. They are social networks and information resources, as well as, movements and clubs, if you like. You can join one or two, or all of them, if you think this would be beneficial. They each carry different content, news and information on music-making opportunities, so if you want to stay in-the-loop and raise your profile, it's probably worth staying in touch with all of them.

ROCK-TIL-YOU-DROP is one of a number of burgeoning social networks dedicated to creating a community of mature and experienced musicians and bands. It aims to support those that are active at a local level and who intend to continue performing as long as they physically can.
It provides a place for musicians to find, and connect with, other musicians, and for those who feel out-of-the-loop to get back into it. ROCK-TIL-YOU-DROP has a musicians' ads site, a forum, a webzine, a blog and a gig calendar. To add to this, its Bands, Fans & Industry network, its London gigs and on-line music store, all aim to promote those that continue to write and perform original material.

STILL GIGGING is a social network, founded by music fan Neil Fishwick, which is primarily dedicated to supporting bands and artists that have previously enjoyed some mainstream or underground success, and want to continue engaging with their fans on-line. This is not, however, to the exclusion of those who haven't been successful. And it is as much a place for music fans, who are able to rediscover, relive and share their musical memories with fellow fans. So please check it out and sign up if you think it is a networking opportunity for you.
