This is the worst musician site I have ever encountered. It is near impossible to understand. They ask for your mobile number so they can send a text with a code which I never rec'd even though I did it 4 times! There is no help or support. They keep sending me emails saying I haven't completed registration?
Dreadful tedious site, found on Google when trying to find a drummer for my band. No mention of a registration charge if you wish to browse drummers, after looooonnnnnng and irritating free registration (banned from putting anything in comments box other than 'I am a musician'), they then tell you if you want to look for other musicians, you have to pay £15! The pits. Avoid!
musicians-in-your-city.co.uk is a complete useless site and rubbish site. First, it asked you to tell it about yourself as a musician before you can advertise. Once you have done this you then can create an advert. So I am a musician who is looking for a female vocalist! Once you have got past the 50 words about yourself – which can’t contain this or that words… you finally create as it states your advert only so find out 1 hour later you get a message:
II. INFORMATION
You have registered one or more entries on Musicians-in-your-City. These entries violate the general terms and conditions of Musicians-in-your-City.
YES – BECAUSE YOUR $#*!ING SYSTEM SAID I NEEDED TO CREATE A PROFILE OF MYSELF BEFORE I COULD PUT UP AN ADVERT – Only me registered so what the $#*! you are talking about!
Complete $#*!ed up site that is waste of internet space… people who run this site need a hole in the head. Avoid and go down your local music shop and advertise it will be much faster!
Totally agree - this is the most useless website I have ever encountered. ALl I wanted was to place an ad for a guitarist for my band - hours later I was no firther forward. They want to take money from you and then try to fine you if you disobey their rules. Nothing more than a scam.
Unbelievably bad. I can only think this is a scam - there is a suspiciously large number of apparently suitable musicians close to me for a start! It is literally almost impossible to actually follow their rules: for a start you have to put a 'comment' about yourself - but there'e no guidance on what the comment should be, and a huge list of 'forbidden' words - like 'band' for instance! From there it's downhill. I want a lead guitarist for an esisting band. To put an advert up, every single member of the band needs to go through the agony that is registration - and every single one has to go thru the whole ridicolous process. After you think you're done (maybe 24 hours later), you get emails from them telling you you've used the wrong word somewhere in your details etc and you've go to go back and redo it. I've never been completely defeated by a mere website before! Don't touch with a barge pole - the idea of them getting my bank details is scary!
This website shouldn't even be named a website, its totally crap, once you pay the registration fee, thats game over, I met no musicians on this, it seems to me they caught a few people years back and kept their details up and those people have forgotten they even signed up, everyone I did get details for werent interested in meeting any other musicians, two people told me "you have the wron 'numba', " total waste of time and disappointing, I would advise anyone to keep away from it.
Extremely poor doesn't even cover it! I concur with all the other reviews poor design, expensive, hard to use, anal teutonic site managers who can't contacted. Save yourself and lot of wasted time and go elsewhere.
Absolutely appalling and totally user unfriendly. What an insult for musicians. They should be closed down as there is no support offered. Disgusting!
A dreadful website designed by people who are terrible website designers and probably terrible musicians too. No attempt has been made to make the site useable (tiny little text boxes and ridiculous submission rules) or useful (multiple registrations required for you as a musician or band if you want to contact others, individual entries required for each member you seek - remember all of this done through their awful interface and restrictive submission rules).
If you wish to have any form of anonymity forget it as they ask for name, address, date of birth and home phone number. Their database must be a stalkers delight!
When you're trying to find musicians, I suppose this could be a great site, since only the most determined will complete the entire soul-destroying process. Me, I canceled my registration immediately, preferring to get on with my life and write some music.
The WORST site you can imagine. It's a SCAM with no way to get my £43- back. Impossible to navigate, clumsy and it keeps bouncing you to spend more money on band registration "name protection" and won't let you correct it if you attempt it. DON'T USE IT. They "blocked" my user account because I made an error (not surprisingly because it is so very complicated to use) and they offered a refund link which DID NOT WORK and which has now mysteriously disappeared. They re-instated my account onto their "hampster-wheel" system so that I cannot claim a refund. Tell everyone to avoid it please.
All of the previous reviews confirm what I suspected. I was simply wanting to look for other musicians and it was an overly complicated process. The site wouldn't even recognize my post code to start with. It says easily contact other musicians, but you won't be able to contact anyone easily and certainly won't be able to contact anyone with difficulty unless you pay. I don't imagine there is anything or any useful information you can get with the initial free registration. The info on local players that pops up is frankly suspicious. And then the expectation is that you have a narrow and easily defined interest. You're either in a band and looking for one person or you're a person looking for a band. There is nothing in between. And what is with having 30 coins to spend? It's really confusing. I'm glad this review site exists because thanks to the above reviews, I have not yet paid anything, in fact I just deleted my free account on the site.
I am glad I read all these reviews because I too found the site unfathomable with poor design and I was just getting my credit card out too. The fact that half the Terms and Conditions are still in German must surely be illegal for a site operating in the UK. http://www.musicians-in-your-city.co.uk then is one to avoid.
Argh, I wish I had made a though research about this site before trusting them.. I paid, and of course no return followed :( 57 € thrown away... Hope they burn in hell..
