It’s a very strong week for the Nottingham music scene. Below we have three amazing gigs for you, including some very big Nottingham names.
\n
\nSpeaking of big Nottingham names, you may be wondering why SAINT RAYMOND’s<\/strong><\/a> Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong> show isn’t here; and the answer to that question is simply because it’s sold out! We’re sure the 400 odd people who got tickets are in for a treat though!
\n
\nGIG ONE<\/strong>
\n
\nIf you\u2019re familiar with the Nottingham music scene, then you\u2019ll know that every Monday night at Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong> is Acoustic Rooms<\/a><\/strong>; where a few of the best local acoustic talents play some songs in the RR bar. It\u2019s hard to believe, but this Monday sees Acoustic Rooms fifth birthday; and they\u2019re throwing one hell of a party to celebrate.
\n
\nFirst up we\u2019ll have the Bluesy infectious melodies of BAND OF JACKALS<\/a><\/strong>. With their unique \u201cinner city desert-rock\u201d style, we look forward to seeing how these guys adjust to an acoustic environment.
\n
\nFollowing we\u2019ll have the beautiful twin harmonies of NOAH<\/a><\/strong>. Their blissful acoustic sounds left us absolutely speechless when we saw them supporting Chloe Howl a few weeks back, and we expect them to do just the same here.
\n
\nNext up we have something a bit different for you. QUERCOUS MINOR<\/a><\/strong> (known as QM to fans), are a barbershop quartet who have been creating plenty of buzz around Notts this past year. These four fellas will serenade your soul with their sweet, sweet harmonies; and believe us when we say, they put on one hell of a show!
\n
\n94 GUNSHIPS<\/a><\/strong> will also be joining in the fun. With some of the grittiest Blues you\u2019ll find in Nottingham, these guys are sure to astound the crowd with a charismatic performance.
\n
\nCHESHIRE AND THE CAT<\/a><\/strong> will be bringing their Jazztastic big band sound to the stage. They always get the room up and groovin, so make sure to bring your dancing shoes!
\n
\nFRANKIE RUDOLF\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> will be bringing his warm tones and catchy melodies to the stage, he\u2019s a great live performer and a fine addition to the lineup.
\n
\nIN THE TEEPEES<\/a><\/strong> are a duo, who craft beautiful slow songs very well. Masters of harmonizing, you really have to see these guys to appreciate the awe-inducing sounds that they make.
\n
\nThere\u2019s more acts to be confirmed, as well as your usual birthday shizzle such as cake and balloons, so it\u2019s bound to be one hell of a party, and you\u2019d be rather silly to miss it!

\n
\nGIG TWO<\/strong>
\n
\nHometown heroes AMBER RUN<\/a><\/strong> are stopping by Nottingham Contemporary<\/a><\/strong> on Wednesday as part of their headline tour, and they\u2019re bringing the soulful sensations that are JOEL BAKER<\/a><\/strong> and GEORGE HOLROYD<\/a><\/strong> along with them.
\n
\nFor those unfamiliar, AMBER RUN<\/a><\/strong> are one of the most exciting new bands from Nottingham. Signed to RCA, their unique breed of anthemic Indie-Pop has been reaching all corners of the UK and has gained them plenty of attention. Most of the shows on the tour have sold out, so make sure to grab your tickets quick if you want to see these boys before they\u2019re hitting arenas.
\n
\nJOEL BAKER<\/a><\/strong> will be supporting with his catchy yet classy acoustic tunes. Fresh from touring the UK with Orla Gartland<\/strong>, Joel\u2019s fanbase just keeps growing, and for good reason. With an incredible voice, and infectious, easily relatable songs, we reckon it\u2019s just a matter of time before Joel hits the big time!
\n
\nGEORGE HOLROYD\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> heartfelt acoustic sounds will also be taking to the stage. We\u2019ve seen George around Notts a few times now, and we\u2019re always impressed by his performances. George may be incredibly humble, but watch out, cause the second he takes to the stage he transforms into one hell of a confident performer!
\n
\nDoors: 8PM
\nPrice: \u00a37
\n
\nGIG THREE<\/strong>
\n
\nFRAZER LOWRIE<\/a><\/strong> will be launching his new EP “Things Have Changed Pt. 2<\/em>” at Nottingham Contemporary<\/a><\/strong> this Saturday, and it\u2019s looking like a cracker of a launch party!
\n
\nFrazer is known for his fiery live performances and angsty, real songwriting. With lyrics like \u201cnobody likes a dickead\u201d (which can be heard on our latest New Music Podcast<\/a><\/strong>), we doubt you\u2019ll find a more truthful musician in Nottingham. This EP has been a long time coming, and if it\u2019s anything like the singles that we\u2019ve heard we reckon it\u2019s gonna be an absolute banger!
\n
\nThere\u2019s one hell of a support lineup too! The aforementioned IN THE TEEPEES<\/a><\/strong> will be serenading the crowd with their beautiful harmonies, that are sure to bring a tear to your eye. JOSH WHEATLEY\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> soft tones and imaginative songwriting are up next, before YAZMIN LACEY<\/strong>, a sultry soulstress with an unbelievable vocal range; who will set the tone just right for Frazer\u2019s performance.
\n
\nDoors: 8PM
\nPrice: Free
