Rossco Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Can anyone recommend any places that will give fairly new rock bands some gigs in Edinburgh? We have been playing through in Glasgow (Nice n Sleazys, Rockers etc..) and Kilmarnock but I have not really noticed anywhere over here that will hand out gigs.

Will shamelessly plug it when everything is confirmed!! Quick update on the new venue! Dec 1st was a no go as the place needed far more work than first thought, however it is nearly ready and Nicol Edwards will be reopening in the next couple of weeks possibly under the new name of The Banshee's Labyrinth!! Will update again once I get full details of the opening night and of any forthcoming events/gigs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone's looking for an acoustic singer songwriter (God I hate that term, people know what it means though) then a shout would be appreciated.
