One of our UK users recently wrote to us asking why his position on the musician map was incorrect. In answering his question, we discovered that we had an error in folkjam.org that would sometimes put folks in the wrong city on the musician map, especially for addresses outside of North America.

We have corrected our geocoding logic and have reviewed the several thousand user accounts on the site. A few hundred user accounts had their location updated and corrected. If your location on the musician map is not what you want it to be, please write to us through our feedback link and we'll help. This bug also impacted where the site 'starts' your search for local music when you log in.
