The guys from Songkick held a UK hacker/entrepreneur meet-up last week at their offices in London. It was (and will hopefully continue to be) a great chance to meet lots of talented and entrepreneurial hackers, and to keep up-to-date with the latest UK startups.

There were some good demos too; Songkick and Hypernumbers showed some really interesting upcoming features for their services - and you can tell they’ve both been through the startup camps (Y-Combinator & Seedcamp). It was a freestyle demo environment, so if you’re looking to show-off your Web app, this is the sort of audience you’ll want to demo to.

Ian from Songkick originally organised the event on the Y-Combinator Hacker News site, but around thirty-five people came from all over the UK to attend - which shows just how much events like this are needed for the UK Web startup scene. Fortunately, it looks like this was the first of a monthly fixture. If you’re a UK hacker/entrepreneur, make sure you join the new GroupSpaces group for this event, and hopefully we’ll see you at the next one in January;
