Welcome to the Coda-UK web site
( Covering Welwyn Garden City / St. Albans / Stevenage / Harpenden / Knebworth / Hatfield / Hertford / Hitchin )

Here at Coda-UK our aim is to promote live music in mid Herts. We will endeavour to visit local venues and photograph the live music event. Occasionally, we may even write a review of the gig.

If you are involved with a local live music venue, or gig locally, you can publicize your gigs on this web site, free of charge. Click on this link contact@coda. The only thing that we ask is that it involves the local area, specified above.

SAD NEWS
Don Fowler advises - "Sorry to inform you, but John Wallace, ex frontman with Ultimate passed away on Sunday after a long illness. ...his funeral hasn't been announced yet. Once again another person from my past leaves a lot of good memories. I did actually speak to John just over a week ago... I could hear in his voice he was in a bad way, but even so, I was a bit shocked to get the news."
