For UK grassroots-venue context see the Music Venue Trust, PRS for Music and Help Musicians UK.

Can I add my own gig to the directory?

Yes — promoters, venues and artists can submit a gig free, reviewed before it goes live. You'll also find related GigXchange surfaces: the UK open mic directory, the city hub index, the genre directory, the booking guides, and the GX Index for live UK gig rates.
