Glasgowmusic Newsletter 100713

Hows things?

Everyone is well and truly in festival mode now. The sounds of Chic making you want to dance, the weather looking amazing and probably going to peoples heads (My flatmate bought £75 Doc Marten Wellies for TITP...)


I shall be in attendance at TITP this weekend and very much looking forward to it. I will be doing some interviews with artists too, so if you are playing and fancy saying some words then let me know.


I took a trip on the Waverley on Friday night for part of the Rock on the Water Cruise, very good event and one I would recommend if they do it again next year.


Anyhow, to the news!


Number of shows coming up that may be of interest to you.
