The Sound Of Yorkshire Gig Guide Blog

The Sound Of Yorkshire is on-air every Saturday night from 6pm

On DAB Digital Radio across Yorkshire - Sky Channel 0209 - www.yorkshireradio.net

OK, so the week's gone by in a blur and we've lost a couple of potential gigging days. Don't kill me, it's just the way it is. It's a high paced world in the music scene and I'd love to say that I'm so busy signing up all the fantastic new bands of Yorkshire to my fledgling indie label, but that'd just be a great big lie. One day maybe. No, instead I've been speaking to our South Yorkshire rep Shane about the Sheffield Music Scene. We'll have the products of our chat on Saturday's show but suffice to say the man knows his stuff, every month we visit him I come away with a top tip for the coming year. This month in particular I'm loving Kalenko, for fans of Interpol they're a must. Find out more from them at www.myspace.com/kalenko

As well as Shane's recommendations on the show this week we'll be on R in the 3-Play of the Greatest Ever Indie Rock Artists, vote for your favourite bands at thesound@yorkshireradio.net, and we may well have some Doves in Do You Remember The First Time. Tune in this Saturday from 6 on Yorkshire Radio.
