Fickle Friends
I think I must’ve listened to Fickle Friends on Soundcloud more than any other band over the past 12 months, which makes me pretty chuffed to be announcing this:
Twisterella Festival
Andy from The Kids Are Solid Gold & I are organising a brand new multi-venue metropolitan music festival in the heart of Middlesbrough this October. Twisterella Festival is centred around the Linthorpe Road & Southfield Road area of town and will be showcasing over 40 of the finest emerging national and international bands. Tickets are on-sale now priced at £15 and the line-up, well, I might be biased, but I reckon it’s ace. Be ahead of the curve and discover your new favourite band:
Middlesbrough Live
Middlesbrough Live is a day of comedy, music and live performance in Middlesbrough town centre, co-ordinated and funded by Middlesbrough Council on Saturday 27th September. I’m pleased to be “curating” (for want of a less pretentious term!) a stage in Middlesbrough Reference Library – which is an amazing building. I’m absolutely buzzing with the acts I’ve secured for it, so I hope to see a few of you fine folks there…
THUMPERS
Just confirmed the brilliant THUMPERS to play the Mixtape 5th Birthday bash on Tuesday 11th February. Love this band, make sure you check ’em out if you haven’t already:
