goNORTH is delighted to be working with Detour Scotland and a selection of Scotland s most respected music bloggers to deliver two of our showcasing platforms this year.
Fresh from their adventures at leading industry event SxSW, Detour Scotland are set to take over Madhatters on June 9th with Homework, Trapped In Kansas, Kobi Onyame, Bwani Junction and a special Detour video blog showcase.
ÔÇÿWe are really excited about Detour s Showcase and their wider involvement‘, said Festival Director Shaun Arnold. ‘Detour is one of the most inventive new music platforms in the country, and having witnessed the energy and vibrancy they brought to SxSW this year, I can t wait to see what they have planned for goNORTH .
ÔÇÿWe are massively excited to be doing this , added Detour Co-creator, David Weaver. ÔÇÿWe want to make it a night to remember, the brilliant bands we have on show deserve a showcase that people will talk about. We have been doing things differently since we started and trying to make people excited, so that is going to be our plan for Go North.
Three of the country s leading music blogs, Song By Toad, PEENKO and The Pop Cop have programmed our Scottish Music Blogs showcase at Flames featuring Indian red Lopez, LightGuides, PAWS and Kid Canaveral.
ÔÇÿThe bloggers Showcase looks fantastic and really highlights the diversity of the current emerging Scottish scene‘, said Arnold. Bloggers are becoming increasingly influential within the industry and we are delighted to be working with three of the best.’
All three will also be taking part in our Music Blog Panel on Friday June 10.
