GIG ONE<\/strong>
\n
\nThis Monday sees the awards ceremony for the incredible project that is the Young Creative Awards<\/a><\/strong>, and it\u2019s taking place at the Royal Concert Hall<\/a><\/strong>!
\n
\nWhilst you\u2019re on your way in to the ceremony, you\u2019ll be enjoying the Oasis-esque sounds of CONNOR SPRAY<\/a><\/strong>, who will be playing to the reception. With an incredibly unique tone to his voice, and some stellar songwriting too, we\u2019re sure he\u2019ll catch more than a few peoples attention!
\n
\nInbetween all the lovely awards being handed out, there\u2019ll also be even more ace live New Notts Music. Who from I hear you ask? Well, Mr FRAZER LOWRIE<\/a><\/strong> will be delivering some of his cheeky yet catchy Acoustic sounds; although we reckon he might have to change a few words to some of his more recent songs. Maybe something like \u201cNobody likes a bully, and you\u2019re the biggest one I\u2019ve ever met\u201d… maybe?
\n
\nAlso performing on the night will be Noise From The Next Generation<\/a><\/strong> winners, and FSN<\/a><\/strong> Semi-Finalists HELLO TOMORROW<\/a><\/strong>. Their catchy Pop-Punk sounds won them the competition that had some incredible talent on, so we\u2019re pretty sure they\u2019ll put on a great performance.
\n
\nInbetween all these Nottingham musicians playing the biggest stage of their lives to date, there will of course be plenty of celebration of all the incredible young creatives in Nottingham. It\u2019s free. It\u2019s a celebration of how great Nottingham is. Get on down!
\n
\nDoors: 5:30PM
\nPrice: Free
\n
\nGIG TWO<\/strong>
\n
\nDAUDI MATSIKO<\/a><\/strong> will be launching his new EP A Brief Introduction To Failure<\/em> this Saturday at the Malt Cross<\/a><\/strong>, and it\u2019s shaping up to be quite a celebration!
\n
\nFor those unfamiliar, Daudi makes truly touching heartfelt music. And I know we say that about a lot of songwriters, but seriously – Daudi has one of those voices that makes even the manliest of men have to hold back the tears. With a knack for writing a beautiful sad song, we\u2019re sure Daudi will have the entire crowd captivated, and we cannot wait to hear these new songs in action!
\n
\nSupporting Daudi on the night will be that familiar fella FRAZER LOWRIE<\/a><\/strong> (bloody hell, he gets around a bit don\u2019t he?) and the incredible Jazz-Fusion band JIALLO<\/a><\/strong>, who make some pretty damn Funky tunes. We can\u2019t wait!

Look how many amazing local musicians are playing this year!
