Sessions & Stuff
Hog The Stage have been running a competition to find an unsigned band to win a slot at the world-famous Edinburgh Hogmanay party. The entries are now all in - these are our favourites.
It's easy for amateur gentleman music writers like me to dismiss bands like Come On Gang! as somehow lightweight, mere flashes in the musical pan, small if shiny parts of the city's musical tapestry. Some might pooh-pooh the whole caper on that sort of basis, move on, and go hunting for something more worthy. Me, I say they're like sequins - without them, things are just plain fucking boring.
