The Client:
Moving Tone Ltd, Cambridgeshire's independent not-for-profit live music arts
organisation created to inform music lovers about local music happening

The Site:
As a non-profit music and arts organisation, the Cambridgeshire based Moving Tone required like minded company to deliver the redevelopment and merging of their two sites into one, with a wealth of community generated content about events, musicians, venues, a music communities in and around the county.

- A web based music directory of artists, bands, promoters, retailers and venues
- Content to be categorised in multiple ways, eg. by genre, music community and content type
- Comprehensive events listings including archived events, reviews, cross referenced to venues and artists
- An online shop selling tickets, CDs, and DVDs, linked to relevant events or artists
