Glasgowmusic newsletter 260511

Hello, how are you?

So that’s the Masters completed now. So onto full time work and all that again!

In the news section there are some excellent opportunities for bands, please mention the newsletter if you get in touch with the kind folk organising stuff!

I am now the booker for new club/venue CHAMBRE69. I am looking for ideas of nights/bands/etc that might be interested in using a 450 capacity venue right in the city centre, please let me know what you think…

ALSO I am looking for places a Tribute band can play in Scotland, any help appreciated…?

This week is mega busy. I played a gig this afternoon for Orange Rockcorps which was very good fun. Thursday night I have this gig at the Black Sparrow www.glasgowmusic.co.uk/ReadBlogs-0000000195 and I cannot wait for it! Friday I am playing at Brass Monkey 8-12 then heading over to DJ at a Sailor Jerry Party at Stereo. On Saturday after the Southside festival I am playing in the Ivory Hotel, we will have the Champions league on live! Then Sunday is the big one. SPARROW FEST! The lineup is below
