Festivals

To date I have had a fair number of gigs. I mean, not mindblowing, but a good amount. I'm very happy with the ones I have had (even though some may not have gone to plan liked the way I'd hoped at the time). Venues played at are::

The Media Club (now the Flying Duck)
Sunny Govan Radio
The Butterfly and the Pig
MacSorleys
The Drawing Room
Sno! Bar
13th Note Cafe
Rio Cafe
O'Henry's
Linen 1906
Cosmopol
Maggie May's
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut
The Mill @ Oran Mor
Lebowskis
Republic Beir Hof
The Aragon
Pivo Pivo
Box
The Local
The Art Bar
Wise Monkey
The Liquid Ship

I may have forgotten a few more but I think that is it. The last gig I had was at Wise Monkey in June of 2010. Feels like a long time ago. And the gig could have been better. Since June I have been doing different musically things like this blog, Slowly Slowly, different artwork, the cassette tapes, etc. But no gigs.

So yesterday (18/1/11) I decided to look for gigs, but not in the usual way. Normally I'd look for a gig using contacts on my myspace, and get an individual gig. However, even in 2009 and 2010, I looked at festivals around Glasgow such as the Southside Festival, Merchant City Festival and Westend Festival. I have done gigs on an individual basis but not as part of a festival. Think it would look great on my musical CV. So, I asked around by e-mail how I would take part for 2011. E-mailed address I found regarding southside festival and westend festivals. I then received an e-mail later that day from those at the Westend Festival stating that as a solo musician, I should contact bars that take part in the Westend Festival. So I contacted both the suggestions they made.

I have befriended one on myspace and left a message; and the other I called today and was given an e-mail to contact the boss. At this moment in time, I await to hear back from them both. I want to be part of a festival. It is not something I have done yet, and wish to do it. Here's hoping.
