Well, it\u2019s a special week for the Nottingham music scene this week. Not only do we have one of Notts\u2019 best Soul artists coming back for her first ever headline Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong> gig, but we also have some invaluable information on how to get signed (if you want to) at our Nusic Academy Workshop<\/a><\/strong>, and one cracker of an acoustic lineup on Friday.

\nGIG ONE <\/strong>
\n
\nThis Tuesday, as part of Confetti\u2019s Industry Week, we\u2019re putting on a free-ticketed Nusic Academy Workshop<\/a><\/strong> known as \u201cHow To Get Signed (If You Want To)<\/strong><\/a>\u201d at Antenna<\/a><\/strong>. We realise it\u2019s a bit cheeky to put this in the Top Three<\/a><\/strong>, but we genuinely think this is one of the best opportunities for musicians out there this week, so we felt like we should include it. Plus, we also reckon there’s a chance for a bit of a spontaneous jam what with all these Nottingham superstars being in one room. Don’t hold us to that though!
\n
\nThis workshop is aimed at musicians who want to take the big step of getting signed to a label, or, as the brackets point out, don\u2019t want to sign to a label but still want to make a living from their music. To show the different routes you can take will be indie label signee HARLEIGHBLU<\/a><\/strong>, George Akins<\/strong> (DOG IS DEAD<\/strong><\/a> & INDIANA’s<\/strong><\/a> Manager) and major label signees JOE KEOGH<\/a><\/strong> (of AMBER RUN<\/a><\/strong>) and SAINT RAYMOND<\/a><\/strong>. They will all be giving advice on how they got signed, and what they\u2019ve learn on their personal journeys. We’ll also be doing our famous love-spreading (ooer!), pointing out to you the who’s who in the room, so you get the opportunity to network with some of the biggest names in the Nottingham music industry.
\n
\nTickets are free, but you better be quick! There are 25 amount of tickets left, and we expect those to be gone very soon!
\n
\nDoors: 5:30PM

\nGIG TWO<\/strong>
\n
\nSpeaking of the soulful powerhouse that is HARLEIGHBLU<\/a><\/strong>, she\u2019ll be performing her first ever headline gig at the Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong> this Saturday. It\u2019s a huge moment for any artist to play to a 450 capacity venue, and also quite a daunting one. But if anyone can stun the RR crowd, we reckon it\u2019s our Harls.
\n
\nSince releasing her debut album Forget Me Not<\/em> (and filming an accompanying Nusic Presents session at Nottingham Castle<\/a><\/strong>) she\u2019s gone from strength to strength, making a name for herself nationally, and even ended up being best mates with Mistajam<\/strong>, who recently referred to her as \u201cthe future of hip-hop Soul\u201d. The album flew off the shelves and for good reason. Harls is one of the few true Soul artists out there at the minute, and we couldn\u2019t be more proud to see the success that she\u2019s received. Pop on down to our Nusic Academy Workshop<\/a><\/strong> on Tuesday to hear her story, and then see the soulstress in action on Saturday. You won’t want to miss either, believe us. Support acts tbc.

\nGIG THREE<\/strong>
\n
\nRounding off our Top Three<\/a><\/strong> this week is the rather bluntly named \u201cShut The F*** Up Acoustic Night\u201d at The Chameleon<\/a><\/strong> this Friday.
\n
\nHosted by the loveable duo that is THE STEADY SOUND<\/a><\/strong>, you can expect a night full of incredible acoustic talent. DAUDI MATSIKO<\/a><\/strong> of The High Hopes Society<\/strong> will start the night by bringing his beautiful, tender arrangements to the stage, and no doubt a tear to your eye. AGNES BELLA<\/a><\/strong> will follow with her delicate harmonies and carefully crafted songs.
\n
\nNext up we have the punchy, Liam Gallagher-esque sounds of CONNOR SPRAY<\/a><\/strong>; he\u2019s new to the scene, but he\u2019s been making quite the name for himself already. DAN HEATHCOTE<\/a><\/strong> will be wowing the crowd with his flawless falsetto and intricate songwriting, before hosts THE STEADY SOUND<\/a><\/strong> take to the stage to perform some smooth mellow jams.
\n
\nDoors: 8:30PM
\nPrice: \u00a33.50
\n
\nYours in Love of New Music,
