Musicians-in-your-city

Utter rubbish, needlessly complex site. DO NOT USE OR WASTE YOUR MONEY ITS A SCAM. CLEARLY NO INTEREST IN PROMOTING MUSICIANS ONLY INTERESTED IN TAKING MONEY OFF THEM

Very frustrating; this site keeps adding to it's rules and some of the software doesn't seem to work/keep up with the changes. The organizers/designers are really controlling. Also find the fees rather a lot if you don't use it so often - I had to pay another thirty pounds every time i wanted to make contact with other musicians.

I can understand they want to attract serious musicians, and may be "weed out" the more casual/amateurs. So if you're looking just to enjoy, experiment or feel your way into collaborative music, and don't have a 'business plan', this might not be for you. (I haven't found a site that suits me though...). If you have money and patience, it might be worth battling your way through all the rules - I did find a musical friend and it's been good.

Imagine a giant warehouse filled with rows and rows of cages in which there are musicians trapped- like the pods in Spinal Tap, where the bassist can't get out. Except this is real, not funny, and very expensive. Even if you want to so much as move your eyeballs to look over at someone else, you will have to put coins in their machine. It is a coin extraction machine made by someone who needs psychiatric help. You would have to be mentally ill to have come up with this infernal device- I see someone else said the same thing on here! THE worst musician website I've ever encountered. End of.

This is the worst music company which I ever encountered with!
Ridiculously, as a person who check the home page you won't be able to even find a contact us form or page in any how.
I paid £109 for a year subscription and a few minutes after, I change my mind and asked for the refund.not even a single email while I sent them 3 message via pay-pal(the method that i paid by). So now I have to follow up this issue via pay pal.
After all the website has very unprofessional and hassle maker design.
Please don't waste your penny on it.

Doesn't get any worse than this. Stay away!
Fully confirming the other 1-star reviews (all 47 of them as I write this - let me highlight that there are only 1-star reviews for this website). The person(s) behind the website clearly need medical help - preferably a psychiatrist. Please. So they disabled my account and banned me from their website (lol!) simply because I gave bad feedback about their website, how complicated their website was (which it still is). They even threatened me to take legal measures against me if I tried to re-register. That's pretty immature, really. Not that I wanted to get back on that jungle ever again :) Thanks for the true "wtf" moments, guys.

Practically every week I got a message from this website to alert me to musicians wanting to make contact. Mostly they were miles away and of no use, or played the wrong instruments. One wonderful day, a keyboard player, that I was looking for, occurred only 8 miles away so I tried to contact them without success. I thought it was because I was failing to understand navigating the site, but it eventually dawned on me that my subscription must have lapsed, although still getting E'mails of contacts. If you see this MIYC.co.uk, perhaps you can contact me!

(this concerns the French version of the site - musiciens-dans-ta-ville.com - apparently they have threatened serious legal action against anyone trying to defame it in France - now why would they need to do that?) Getting bored with musicians who "would like to contact me" but - as neither of us were paying members - it was impossible to get in touch, I stupidly paid for a year's membership at 59 Euro.

I tried to contact one person (who has previously expressed interest) - when there was no reply after a week, I opted to cancel my membership.

They refunded FIVE Euro, referring me to a ripoff scale of charges to be deducted for "services used", including 20 Euro per pass contact (my 59 Euro annual subscription included 30 of these!),

An absolute ripoff.

Right now I have asked if I can pay them back the 5 Euro to restore my annual membership (it isn't worth a lot more than that though). Watch this space.

I set up an account that was almost immediately deactivated because I'd fallen foul of some incomprehensible rules regarding subject matter. I like to think I have a pretty good command of the English language and am of reasonable intelligence, but I'm at a loss to understand what the hell this site is on about. I mean what's this supposed to mean?

"Musicians' entries may not be used to introduce you own band (complete or not) and/or to search for musicians to complete your own band. Only so-called band entries may be used for this purpose.
Musicians' entries are meant for personal use only
Band entries are meant for band use only

You know what? I don't give a $#*! that they've deactivated me. I'm sorry, I just don't get this site.

Musicians-in-your-city has to be THE biggest waste of space site on the net. Their software is pathetic. I am still awaiting a code number to my mobile. At the end of the day they are just a very ordinary site for musicians looking for other musicians although you wouldn't know it from their ridiculous and OTT demands. Do not throw your money at these morons!
CONCLUSION: A site that should be avoided at all costs.

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 cancelled my registration immediately, preferring to get on with my life and write some music.
