Identity Parade

With the festival upon us again I’d like to recommend my good friend Mike Baillie one-man show ‘Endless Sunset Oblivion’ - also the title to his brand new and fantastic album, which is out on release now (as The Lonely Together).

Already bagging a load of great reviews for the album and a 3 star festival show review, fresh off the interweb from ScottishField.co.uk, Mike has embarked on an incredible mission to perform this show which includes storytelling, poetry and music, telling the story of Reuben, the show and album’s protagonist and a man in a mission to fix the world with music.

Playing for the full festival run at La Belle Angelle (7-22 Aug, not 14th) at 3.15pm, please get along and support Mike. I’m heading on Saturday. Can’t wait!

Listen in to Jim Gellatly's show on Amazing Radio today to hear a track from Zoë Bestel - Singer/Songwriter's album. He's on air from 2pm and you can listen on the Amazing Radio website - http://amazingradio.com/

Widely recognised as the voice of New Music in Scotland, Jim Gellatly has over 20 years experience of unearthing talent neatly tucked under his radio belt. It’s by no means just music from North of the Border, but Jim makes no apologies for any Scottish bias!

The wonderful Zoë Bestel - Singer/Songwriter has written a Blog about her experience at Identity Parade on Sunday. Very kind words from one of our very talented acts that certainly inspires us to do more IDPs in 2015.

Was absolutely honored to play at Identity Parade‘s 10th Anniversary at the Mash House in Edinburgh this weekend. I like the Mash House, played there not too long ago as part of the Hit the Road tour I did with Lewis Capaldi, and Jacob & Rory Green, so I was chuffed... Read more
