Hi and welcome to another lengthy newsletter! so much news this last couple of weeks!
T in the park was amazing, i have some great stories, but they are maybe for a time of chatting over a beer! anyway i will be playing again in town this friday at shoot to kill, Brunswick Hotel, Brunswick Street, Merchant City . Come along to hear some mowtown, soul and indie mixed up in a wierd way! Also on the bill are Right Hand Left, Mypopia and Glasgow music favourite Satellite Dub. DJ Whomac is also playing after me own little set
I have put all demos recieved onto my desk and i am about to listen to all them through the week. Im booking tom tom gigs just now right up until september so hopefully full lineups announced shortly. Yes i am getting organised more so than i was already
THERE WILL BE NO TUESDAY CLUB ON THE 26TH OF JULY
--> this is due to it being my 21st and i dont think i will be in any state to organise anything. Maybe to decide what flavour of kebab i need
