June
Issue 16
May has been an awesome month for gigs - there has just been so much to see. June carries on much where May has left off with more festivals alongside the usual gig scene. There have also been a flurry of releases - I list a few at the end of the gig guide. If you know of any releases DM me and I’ll include them. Similarly if you have gigs or events upcoming let me know. Please share the guide, each month it spreads further and wider. Hopefully it makes a difference.

Kicking off with a round up of recent releases from local bands:
If you’re looking to see videos of local live bands playing live? Then check out Kevin Dornan’s YouTube. A fantastic snap shot of UK local live music. This is his most popular video - The Ramonas and a crushingly brilliant cover of The KKK Took My Baby Away.
I have recorded another podcast with Dom Bailey-Clay at Nine Volt Leap Recording Studio in Melksham. In it he talks about his recording process and work with a number of local bands. I have reorganised the way I edit and distribute the podcasts and it will be ready later this month. Rather than using Soundcloud to distribute them they will all now be available on regular podcast services (Spotify, Apple etc). Starting with the first one I released with Tom Andrews.

Thanks for reading so far and supporting the gig guide. Thanks also to all the promoters and venues who put on the gigs and support the music scene. The gig guide is free (and friendly) so please share it. See you at a gig soon, Mike J
