Glasgowmusic newsletter (Week 102)

Hello, how are you?

Some summer eh? Asides from weather its been really productive so far! There have been lots of good shows on and good to see so many Glasgow bands doing so well just now.


I am now booking up September in Pivo Pivo, get in touch if interested, looking for promoters to take on nights and bands looking for shows. There are only a couple of slots left in August too!


Ashton Crawl line-up is looking very tasty, not far off our announcements now! Keep the 21/22/23rd of Sept free! There will be something to suit lots of tastes in music, well excited.
