<p>You can check out my <a href="http://www.choosefest.com/festival/gent-jazz-festival-2012">review of Gent Jazz Festival</a> if you want to see what I thought or go directly to the <a href="http://www.choosefest.com/win-festival-tickets">Win festival tickets page</a>!</p>
<p>An excerpt of my Gent Jazz Festival review:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Expensive But Awesome&#8221;  </strong><br />
Though tickets cost €34 a night you get a lot for your money. Set in fantastic grounds (old Belgian buildings modernised and brand new stylised architecture either side of the music) and with serious organisation the festival is a small gem in Belgium&#8217;s musical landscape. Just outside town, about 10 minutes walk from St.Peters train station it&#8217;s also very easy to get to.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="center"><a href="http://www.choosefest.com"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-856" title="Finding the perfect festival" src="https://blog.woodylabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/its-not-perfect-but-its-me-423x450.png" alt="" width="423" height="450" srcset="https://blog.woodylabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/its-not-perfect-but-its-me-423x450.png 423w, https://blog.woodylabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/its-not-perfect-but-its-me-963x1024.png 963w, https://blog.woodylabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/its-not-perfect-but-its-me.png 1072w" sizes="(max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px" /></a></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">Its official, we have opened up <a title="Find a Festival" href="http://www.choosefest.com">ChooseFest.com</a>, so go check it out, now, what are you waiting for? <a href="http://www.choosefest.com">Click Here</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">ChooseFest is all about festivals, music festivals. In short it takes your music tastes (from facebook, last.fm scrobble history, a list you type) goes through all of the line-ups (kept up to date daily!) and then spits out a convenient, summarised list of all the festivals which have the bands (and singers) you particularly like at. It&#8217;s kind of a festival search engine, its kind of a music to festival matching site, but it will be a whole lot more in months to come.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What problem does it solve?</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ever tried to find the festival which has the most bands you like at? It&#8217;s a nightmare. Each festival has its own &#8220;arty&#8221; site, each festival has different dates, prices, availability, not to mention they have their bands and artists in obscure orders over several web pages. All that data collating is not easy or fun. <a href="http://www.choosefest.com">ChooseFest.com</a> Makes it easy (and hopefully fun), you just stick in who you want to see and up pops your best options.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Where&#8217;s the project at?</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">ChooseFest is a <a href="http://www.stormgate.co.uk">StormGate</a> production and you can <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/ChooseFest/443178029031285">find it on facebook</a> and have a go with the prototype (alpha app) @ <a href="http://www.choosefest.com">ChooseFest.com</a>. We have a few hundred users and are now soliciting feedback, it would be great to hear what you think, and at such an early stage your comments could really make a difference to us.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Want to help out?</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Please help us <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/ChooseFest/443178029031285">Spread the word</a>, share us with your friends, give us feedback! &#8211; the more people we can tell about ChooseFest the more chance there is we can make this a really, really useful tool for us all.</p><p>The post <a href="https://blog.woodylabs.com/2012/05/finding-your-perfect-festival-choosefest-com/">Finding Your Perfect Festival – ChooseFest.com</a> first appeared on <a href="https://blog.woodylabs.com">Woody Hayday | Blog</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
