An expat guide to the Parisian live music scene

Hey hey,
So... this feels like a bit of a shameless plug, but pourquoi pas?
I'm a UK expat living in Paris, working as a freelance journalist.
I found it pretty hard to know what was going on, in terms of live music in the city, for the first six months or so of being here.
Luckily, I now find it a little easier, mainly because I forced myself into making contacts with most the major venues around Paris. But, I thought that others may be having the same trouble I did, and as such I've started a little blog to help folk out.
If you're interested the address is http://gigsinparis.wordpress.com/ - you can also follow on twitter.
Feel free to get in touch if you're looking for anything more specific.
Thanks,
Mark
