Dutch number 1 announces Glasgow show

www.glasgowmusic.co.uk presents
Scottish born Raymond Hackland who was recently crowned number 1 in Holland will appear live in Glasgow on Monday September 6th. He will be joined by Amy Belle and Alan Frew
"Just One Night with its simple laid back production is a perfect showcase for Hacklands wry creative songwriting. And despite the lack of thrills and spills, Hackland proves that whilst he has one foot firmly in the country tradition, this able tunesmith can produce real hits." - Jackie Fisher (former manager Boyzone, Natalie Imbruglia, Amy Belle, EMI Records)
"The music the words and the talent are all equally amazing. Raymond is a pure joy to listen to." - Carol Cunningham, Music News Scotland
"Just One Night is cool. A great little pop song!" - Jim Gellatly, Clyde 1
Raymonds debut single, Just One Night, topped the ReverbNation Country/Blues for Holland, No.3 for the ReverbNation Whos Hot Country Chart (worldwide), has hit national headlines in Scotland and has been played on Jim Gellatlys Amazing Radio Show as well other national radio stations across including one in the U.S.
"Brilliant! Absolutely superb!!" - Matt Bendoris, The Sun
