Glasgowmusic Newsletter 060814

Hello!!


What a summer so far! How good were the Games for Glasgow? Did you enjoy all the bands and events happening around the city? What a buzz it brought to the city!

I got to see numerous bands across various days. Belle & Sebastian kicked things off in style. Epic 90s hits from Wet Wet Wet. BBC introducing brought us Fatherson, Paws and Public Broadcasting Service amongst others!
Not to mention the stages on Brunswick Street, Custom House Quay and Glasgow Green showcasing a massive amount of talent from Glasgow and beyond!
Did you make it to Sounds to the Sea? What a great event that was. Ballet with Boats!
In between times I took in Wickerman Festival, excellent as always.

I have managed to catch a slight breath and I have put together some news for you! There are plenty of tours being announced for the Autumn! Enjoy.



OPPORTUNITIES

I am looking for ACOUSTIC acts for shows in ONeills at the end of August. Acts can be solo or with stripped back percussion. Ideally a few covers. The event is raising money for Cash For Kids. Let me know if you want to be put forward.
