I'm going to take a guess and surmise that you have a lot of different view functions, each one of which needs to pass a list of gigs into the context for the template and then render that page, and you're trying to avoid repeating the code that builds the list of gigs. Is that correct?

You might look at whether you really need all those separate view functions, or if they can be rolled together. You might also look at using class-based Views in 1.4 as a way to factor out the gig-list-building code in a reasonable way.
