Glasgowmusic newsletter 140111

Hello, how’s things? Hope you weren’t all confused this morning reading your horoscope in the paper…

I will be doing my first A&R Zone session on BBC RADIO 1 in Scotland this coming Sunday night. Ally McCrae will be on between 12 and 2 into Monday morning, I will be on around 1230 with 2 tracks I have chosen. I have had some amazing music sent to me over the last week and really want to hear more. You will be able to listen to the radio in Scotland live and also on the iPlayer from Monday.

Please send tracks to me via my new Soundcloud! http://soundcloud.com/craigmcgee

Due to bad weather last Friday I had to unfortunately cancel my trip to Dunfermline, I have rescheduled for Friday 4th March!
