Posters almost completely sorted ! Two large boxes in the shop now full of neatly labelled and priced fly posters. Several different posters from Biffy Clyro, Oasis, Fratellis, Faithless, Runrig, Foo Fighters etc plus lots of pop and festival posters from only £2. Hundreds of smaller posters at £3 from Arctic Monkeys, Primal Scream, Kings […]
After the success of some of the charts we have published recently bands are understandably keen to feature. I have been asked how a balance can be struck between shop sales and in particular album launches and to be honest there simply isn’t an easy answer. Bands have been very good in making sure I […]
I have a friend with a gift shop. Interesting things you don’t see all the time. She has to go through every box taking out the little leaflets inside from the supplier which basically say thank you for buying this from a shop but next time why not buy something directly from us instead listing […]
Just to clarify what I would have thought was obvious. If you would like to play an in-store then it is essential that any physical releases you have are available in shops. Offering a few copies as an afterthought doesn’t count !
Ryan from Star Wheel Press was in today turning the back of the shop into more of a multi purpose display/gallery space. It’s only a first attempt but will make the space a little more flexible. We should hopefully have everything in place in time for some exciting exhibitions during the Festival.

Renowned music charity Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy in Scotland and Creative Scotland have teamed up to launch a once in a lifetime opportunity for new and emerging Scottish bands to […]
We Were Promised Jetpacks are set to release their new album ‘In The Pit Of The Stomach’ on October 3rd. We Were Promised Jetpacks have been teasing fans for the past month. Retreating to Iceland to work on their new studio album, the Edinburgh band have released a series of short snippets online. Now the group have […]
Enough said
Just found out if I click on an artist in this year’s line-up you get footage and having not heard of half the bands (yes I know they are not all Scottish) I came across Gallery 47 who it says in the blurb blends ” electronic elements with the abstract lyrical verses of a beat-poet, […]
Just checked out the Kid Canaveral footage which of course was excellent. However when I went to search for more I was directed to last year’s line up which a year later does look very odd indeed. No doubt Kid Canaveral will be the Admiral Fallow of the bunch. http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/festivals/tinthepark/2011/artists/kidcanaveral/ Saturday 10 Young Fathers Airship […]
