Glasgowmusic newsletter 230311

Hello, how are you?

I am in middle of 7 DJ gigs in 10 nights, organising loads of gigs and trying to get the website totally updated! Here is next instalment of Glasgow music news, enjoy!

I am on BBC RADIO 1 INTRODUCING with ALLY MCCRAE on the A&R Zone once a month. I am looking to hear new tracks. You can upload tracks to my Soundcloud for consideration. http://soundcloud.com/craigmcgee

It should be next week for the launch of www.glasgowmusic.co.uk ‘s own VIDEO/TV CHANNEL. As I believe in collective spirit of the Glasgow live and recorded scene I am encouraging all bands with videos for their songs to get in touch. Also I will have interviews/features/gigs/recordings/documentaries and films on there too. If you have had anything on video focusing on Glasgow before and want a platform to showcase your work then please fire over Youtube links. I am delighted to announce the Stu Russell as the man to be driving this project.

GLASGOW MUSIC CITY RADIO is embedded on my website. You can click on the site and listen in to loads of music from Glasgow. The station was part of UNESCO City of Music. I will be doing a show on a Wednesday night from 7pm. Get tunes over to me for consideration to above Soundcloud.

THE FORUM at www.glasgowmusic.co.uk is now up and running. Feel free to enter into discussion/sell your wares/find a new band member/someone to go to gigs with/tell us about your band! Its free to sign up! www.glasgowmusic.co.uk/GMForum
