GIG THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last year, the first ever Nottingham Rocks at the Theater Royal was an incredible success as well as a fantastic event. This year, it’s back for round two as four of our most renowned acts take to the stage backed by a four piece orchestra. A truly special event that will celebrate Notts music in all it’s glory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GEORGIE ROSE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

So if you’re even the faintest bit familiar with Nottingham, you will recognise this name. Without a shadow of a doubt, GEORGIE ROSE<\/a><\/strong> is one of our most hardworking acts. Beautifully crafted Acoustic Folk, her silky vocals and haunting performances are utterly captivating & it seems the rest of the UK are catching up with Notts and falling under Georgie\u2019s spell. No doubt the addition of an orchestra will be heart-wrenchingly gorgeous.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AMBER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When they’re not studying at Nottingham University, AMBER<\/a><\/strong> are busy making awesome music. Fragility-laden but utterly powerful vocals are complimented by reverberating guitars and glorious melodies that \u00a0will have you either singing your heart out or sitting in stunned silence. If they can do this when it’s just four young lads, imagine their impact when backed by a full orchestra. Crikey.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HARLEIGHBLU<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reppin\u2019 Notts Soul scene,\u00a0HARLEIGHBLU<\/a><\/strong> has the ability to turn heads from her first note with an effortlessly gorgeous vocal. Signed to one of the UK\u2019s leading independent labels\u00a0Tru Thoughts<\/a><\/strong> & with an album for release next month,\u00a0HARLEIGHBLU<\/a><\/strong> delivers sweet & sultry Soul you won’t be able to resist. Completely lovely.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SAINT RAYMOND<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A lad who’s been dubbed ‘The next Jake’ more and more frequently, SAINT RAYMOND<\/a><\/strong> will be showing exactly why he’s earned such a title this Saturday. \u00a0His\u00a0impossibly catchy, superbly crafted Indie Pop is a guaranteed smile-raiser, perfectly coupled by Callum’s cheeky charisma that had him signed to Asylum\/Atlantic Records last month. A definite superstar of the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PRICE: \u00a310
\nDOORS: TBA<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yours in Love of New Music,<\/p>\n
