REVIEWS

I wrote my first review on the site in over 6 years. It’s the first of many from this year’s CELTIC CONNECTIONS.

I AM LOOKING FOR REVIEWERS TO COVER LOTS OF SHOWS IN GLASGOW! Please get in touch…

LOOKING FOR REVIEWERS / LEAD REVIEWER

Do you like music? Do you like writing about it? Do you follow Glasgow’s music scene?
Are you organised? Can you see yourself leading a team of reviewers? Do you want to build up your press contacts and see gigs for free? Then Glasgowmusic wants to hear from you. Email over some sample work or just your interest (if you would like to be a reviewer) and email over a few words about why you think you would be great for the position.

This is a voluntary position and would be perfect for a media or music student looking to build up links with promoters, venues, PR companies, bands, agents etc.

The Review section of the website has grown substantially through the work of myself and Susan Ford. I am looking to expand on this as my inbox is constantly filling up with requests for shows to be covered. http://www.glasgowmusic.co.uk/Reviews-0-10
