How are things?

I was interviewed late last week for NME for a Live Music Legislation article. I haven’t seen a copy today but I believe there are some of my thoughts on it in there…..

As I mentioned last week I was DJIng at Hampden Park for the SPL Music Box launch. Please see a video which explains a lot more about the initiative which will marry music and football clubs. This is an excellent project being funded by Creative Scotland and backed by the Scottish Government. Please give it your full support. http://www.mnetv.tv/newsroom/newsStory.aspx?id=797
