EdFest, Co-writes & a BAD Review

Hi Everyone,

Got some interesting info. in this blog, please read on to find out more!

Edinburgh Festival Gig @ The 3 Sisters

On Saturday 15th August I'll be playing at The 3 Sisters in Edinburgh. There will be an 85 seater coach leaving from Abercorn Street, Paisley at 12 noon and picking everyone up in Edinburgh at 1am. Tickets are only £10 and this includes your return bus journey plus entry to the gig, not bad at all really!! To secure a place, please get your tenners to me as soon as possible. You can also get money to any of the following acts, who are also playing. These are; John Rush, Scott MacFarlane, Gavin Morris, The Love Hats & Stylus Automatic. Other people you can book tickets from are Drew McOrmack & Craig Corbett. I've been on these trips a few times now and trust me when I say, they are an absolute RIOT!!!!

Recent Co-writing Adventures
Those of you who saw my online status updates will probably already know this, but last week I ventured down to London. This was partly to meet with my Publisher but also to write with a couple of great people. The first was Calum MacColl (the late Kirsty MacColl's brother) and the second was a guy from LA called Ken Rose . Both of which seemed to go very well with a couple of new songs being penned in the process!

BAD Review From The Skinny
Recently I sent out some demos to various members of the press in order to hopefully get them along to my last full band King Tuts gig. One of which being the music paper, The Skinny. I didn't think they'd actually review the demo! This was a shame as it's a recording I did a couple of years ago, and one which I'm not particularly proud of but it was the only full band demo I had. In that respect, I actually agree with most of what the critic says. HOWEVER, the first two comments to follow the review were slightly nasty and I thought I'd let you all know so you can check it out for yourself. You don't need to register to comment so please feel free to add your own opinion! As you will see, there are already quite a few comments which are pretty funny indeed. Thanks to those who've responded already!
To see my RUBBISH review, go HERE lol.

Take it easy,
