Esther O’Connor – The Place Where We Are and Right Here
Tuesday 12th July: A few years ago my first dalliance with social networking involved me signing up for a MySpace account. I didn’t do too much with it (except check out bands to see whether they were worth going to … Continue reading
Chantel McGregor – Like No Other
Thursday 28th April: It sounds like the sort of 5-point plan that a lot of bands/artists will have: Play gigs in pubs to get noticed by the public. Maybe try to get a few support slots. Get on stage with … Continue reading
2010 In Review – Part 2, The CDs
