Glasgowmusic newsletter 290310-040410

Hows things?

It is going to be a busy week for me with 4 DJ gigs including an Easter Sunday special at The Brass Monkey. Hope to see you at them.

Who is all going to Hinterland? Some good bands playing this Saturday.

Thanks to all of you who came down to my NEW CLUBNIGHT on Thursday! I will be DJing weekly on a Thursday night in THE BRASS MONKEY that will feature new music from Glasgow and beyond. Loads of news Scottish artists will be featured alongside new music and other great tunes I like. It kicks off at 8pm.

I have now got a team of reviewers out and about in the venues of Glasgow and on their Stereos reviewing your music. If you have a gig/EP, upcoming single wanting a review please get in touch and I will see who is available. Also if you are keen on writing reviews please get in touch to register your interest.

I am looking for some Event Management work at the moment, if you have anything at your venue/festival or looking for a tour manager please get in touch to see if I can help out.

***If you have any news stories/giveaways/etc you would like added to next weeks newsletter please email them to (also feedback on the newsletter is much appreciated!) [email protected]

ALSO - if you get in touch with anyone through my newsletter can you please mention you saw the news here please? There has been a good uptake from various things mentioned in the letter I am led to believe!

I am hopefully going to be switching over to a new mailing list format soon; you can sign up for that one here à www.glasgowmusic.co.uk/mailinglist.html
