Change the link colours so they are black whether they have been visited or not and increase the size of the font of the links so they fit either exactly or just slightly narrower than the picture.
Other than the links turn off the caps lock and get rid of the amateurish "CLICK THE LINKS" "CHECK BACK" messages. You shouldn't have to tell the user what to do, it should be intuitive by design.
Try using arial as the font(again other than the links and the title which will be fine). And stop making everything bold
On your gig guide lose the cell padding on the table and outline on the table so all you see is the text.
On your reviews lose the table and instead have it something like
"Pete McNaught is back on lead vocals and acoustic guitar and it's as if he hasn't been away after being off the circuit for a number of years...the band sounded as if they had been together for years, not months...superb musicianship...kept the dancers on the floor all night ... It is certainly good to have this band back on the circuit" - Pathfinder, Fort San Atone - April 2009
On your contact page you wrote mailto:mailto: so you need to go back and change that to just mailto: that will sort out the errors people are having sending you messages
Get rid of the outline to the pictures on the biographies page.
Generally formalise the language and don't exaggerate
"WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF ONE OF THE UK'S PREMIER COUNTRY ROCK OUTFITS.HERE YOU WILL FIND ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE BAND INCLUDING GIG LISTS, INDVIDUAL BAND MEMBERS BIOG'S AND PEN PICS, PLUS A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER INTERESTING STUFF..........HONEST!"
Should become
"Welcome to the Official Website of The Dirty Hat Band"
