Glasgowmusic newsletter 221211

Hello readers

First off I would like to wish every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes! I hope you have enjoyed 2011, I know I have!

Secondly, I will be taking bookings for a number of venues in 2012, I am delighted to announce I will be booking the Saturday nights in Flat 0/1 and also doing bookings in Stairway. Added to this the Thursday nights at the Black Sparrow will return also. So if you can fight your way over the Brussel Sprouts, Christmas jumpers and festive hangovers drop me a line and I can look out some shows for you!

Last week I was on Radio 1 playing my favourite track of the year. I have compiled a list of all the tunes I played on BBC RADIO 1 across 2011. Have a listen and let me know what you think. You can listen to them all at the following link
