Glasgowmusic Newsletter 230414

Hi how are you?

I hope you all had an excellent Easter. The above picture is taken on a boat as we were sailing out with Aidan Moffat for a gig on the Clyde last Monday. Great way to start the Easter Break.

I have a number of opportunities for bands and artists for a number of shows in Glasgow. Have a look below.
I am also looking at ideas for acts for a Festival in August too.

“We hired Craig to play our engagement party and we couldnt have been any happier. From first contact, to my CONSTANT emails with requests, and finally to the party, hes been brilliant. He played everything that we specifically requested, and had a massive catalogue of songs for us and our guests to choose from too. He really paid attention to what we wanted, and our own musical tastes, Would 100% have him play at any other parties we might have and will be recommending him to friends/family! “ Nikki and Nicola
