The Newcastle Music Directory is a community based music website that covers the music scene in and around Newcastle, NSW. This covers a region roughly from the Hawkesbury River in the South to Taree in the North, and West to Merriwa in the upper Hunter Valley. The site publishes over 1500 local events per month on its gig guide and lists details of over 4000 local bands and artists and over 650 venues from the region. The site has constantly had to be upgraded and updated to reflect the changing internet technology over its 10 year history.
