Last week was great fun, lots of DJ gigs including the new Wednesday night at the Garage. I am still buzzing from the response the night got. I am in the Garage tonight, details below about it. If you are out and about and fancy it let me know please.

You can view this week’s newsletter online here: www.glasgowmusic.co.uk/ReadBlogs-0000000269


Last week I received this email from Jon of the punk band ‘The Zips’ and it brought a huge smile to my face. Its great to get a message like this as it keeps me wanting to continue putting these newsletters together.

“Hi Craig,
Ive finally given up trying to read the newsletter online - there are just too many items of interest, that I need to make notes on. So, Im now printing it off, to read on the subway - but before there are any complaints from the environmental lobby about destroying trees - it now replaces the copy of Metro, that I would have read.
keep up the good work - theres no-one else doing it!”

The Zips have just released their new album ’19 Forevva’ go check it out www.thezips.co.uk

FINALLY


GLASGOWMUSIC and MANASEVEN Present a ‘Digital Clinic’

Glasgow music is proud to announce a new partnership with Edinburgh based music company, Manaseven.

If you have any burning questions on anything digital from ecommerce to web design email: [email protected] or tweet us: @wearemanaseven.

We are going to be starting a regular Digital Clinic here at Glasgow Music where readers can submit their digital-related music questions be that on e-commerce, web design, marketing strategy, social media etc and the Manaseven team will do their best to answer your questions.

FOR EXAMPLE

Hi, everyone keeps telling me about another new way of promoting my music. I have registered with Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Reverbnation and Facebook but dont have the time to update them all. Any advice?

Remember the main purpose of all of these social networks is to give your band the best chance of being seen or talked about. Dont follow the latest trends but instead use the network that works best for you. I have found bandcamp to be a great tool as it allows you to embed your music on your own site as well as provides a great bunch of options for selling your downloads. The most important thing is to be aware of is where the majority of your fans are and connect with them regularly. Twitter is great as it doesnt take up much time and you can track the spreading of ideas with custom hashtag campaigns like Twin Atlantic have been doing well with #freetwinatlatic.


Best wishes
