A generic Concert list required

  • Hello I am new to WordPress, I do have a .com blog going https://djhlivemusic.wordpress.com/ though I’m hoping to transfer this to a self hosted full blown WordPress account.

    I maintain another simple web site where I list various gigs in my area, using a WYSIWYG software. I realise that www.remarpro.com would do the same job. The most important section of my current site is the gig listing, which is very difficult to keep up to date, as I insert gigs long hand. I’m am trying to see if WP has a solution to this, my current site looks like this https://www.djhimaging.com/march2011.html although a list form in probably preferable.

    The problem being, I really don’t know where to start looking and what for. GigPress is a name that keeps cropping up but that appears to be aimed at musicians and not a generic listing.

    I see my main requirements as a list with headings :-

    Month / Date of concert / County / Town / Venue (with links) / Artists (with links) / date concert added to site – and ideally once a venue with links / artist with links has been added this information is stored for future use.

    Being new to all this I just need some guidance or suggested plug-in that will enable me to maintain this type of data as this is the only thing holding be back. I didn’t want to start creating a WP site without knowing if this sort of listing is possible or if I need to investigate another CMS site.

    As an example of my sort of requirement check out https://www.backroadsmusic.co.uk/gigs though I appreciate this is not a WP blog.

    or https://www.bobharris.org/pages/gigguidehome.asp

    I’ve been pondering this for the past 8 months and have got nowhere so I guess I need some expert help to know if this is easily achievable.

    Thank you for you help and I am sorry if this is an unorthodox approach to finding a solution.

    Having checked through some of the event plugin’s I am still not sure if any of these fit my requirement, or possibly my lack of understanding. Maybe I need a combination of plugin’s / databases / tables. I guess I was hoping for a simple solution to my problem maybe this it not possible after all. I will have to keep searching.

    Well I think I’ve plugged in all I can plug in and Widgeted all I can Widget but I still can’t find the simplistic solution. That’s not to say there are some amazing things out there, they all seem to do far more than I require, aimed at artists and musicians and not fans of all music wanting to keep an online reminder of what is on, at the same time share with other like minded people in the area. Maybe after 1 year of trying I should give up, stick with old html or find an alternative way of listing, I’m loathed to start all over again with yet another piece of software, though I see that one of my example has constructed on a different platform.
