News

One of the most exciting acts about, PAWS have joined Scottish big guns We Were Promised Jetpacks and The Twilight Sad on Fat Cat Records.  With the debut album in the bag, it's looking better and better for PAWS.

De Rosa announced this week that they are reforming.  With a new website on the way, and new material being recorded it's good news.

Showing a bit of sense, Glasgow City Council have put on hold their Public Entertainment License proposals for six months to complete a full consultation.  So far over 12,000 people have added their name to a petition.  Click on the link to join them, and check out the full implications of the scheme here.
