A quick update on what’s been happening here at Penny:
Cutaways – Earth & Earthly Things
Belfast’s own Cutaways are prepping the release of their new album, Earth & Earthly Things, due for release on June 9th 2009. Generous buggers that they are, you can hear the whole album over at their Music Page With a UK & Ireland tour in the works, I’d sign up to their newsletter ASAP to keep up to date. Check out a couple of great videos from the album over at YouTube too.
Un-Convention Salford: June 4, 5 & 6 2009 –
For disclosure’s sake, I should probably mention that I’m a member of the Un-Convention board in the UK. That said, this June see a reprise of the first UnConvention in Salford. 30 speakers, 5 panels, 20 bands over 3 days. All for only £25 – get in!
Some highlights include Martin Atkins and BBC’s Tom Robinson doing a special “UnConvention” show from BBC’s Oxford Rd. studios in Manchester – including live sessions from the bands performing and interviews. Woo!
We’ll be there for the whole weekend, so drop us a line if you want to meet up.
