Hello
hope all is well. I believe i am now old in turning 21, time to look forward towards the resit!
Anyhow i have been out and about a lot recently and saw some good stuff. Its been a quiet period too
Good news in terms of the site. I now have my own dedicated server with unlimited bandwidth and a datbase! meaning updates can be done all the time once the system has all been set up, it also means you lucky people can login and put your own input into the system. Im rather excited about all this! It will hopefully be live by the start of music works. That would be nice wouldnt it?
Got a news story then feel free to pass it on to me at this address and also let others know. Please check out and use the forum to publicise gigs and other stuff...even come on and say hello!
anyone that was along to tom tom tonight, i hope you had fun...all 3 bands were great and i will try and get paul jeans back up soon. Theres a lot happening in Newcastle just now and there was a great reaction towards him and his band. The hedrons and the Aspherons had a lot of fun too adn the crowd was really into it. I think we all got over Celtic going out quickly

New York?!
Scottish bands wanted for small “Scotland Rocks” night
at Pianos in New York on Monday September 19th. The
venue is situated on the lower east side with a
capacity of 250. If there are any Scottish bands
going out to CMJ, which runs from the 14th-17th
September then please contact me for more information.
If you are not going to CMJ but want to play and can
fund your own trip then get in touch. I will be able
to give you a list of other venues to contact so you
can try and book another gig whilst in New York. I
will also help you find a cheap place to stay.
The night will consist of 2 or 3 Scottish bands with
local support; perhaps Nervous Cabaret or Jonny Lives
and a DJ playing sounds from old and new Scottish
bands.
