You'll hear some great talent and if you're a performer you get the opportunity to be recorded and get a free live CD of your set. Al records all the performers and offers them a free CD the following week if they want it. Starts 9pm. Be there early if you want to play.

We will be playing at The Bon Accord on North St, Glasgow 12/01/08. The gig is free so all you've got to do is get yourself there. As well as us you will be able to catch Acoustic Butterfly and Andy ( Lead Singer from Blind Pew) + more. We will be on the back of nine. So hope to see you there. Paul ( The LoneSome Hearts)
Al mate how you doing? We've been recording lately with a 16-track zoom desk we purchased. In fact I wouldn't mind picking your brain on a couple of maters i'm having with it. Anyway, i've added our first attempt so have a listen. Lets have a beer soon, get in touch.
Alan, We had the great pleasure of getting into the studio over the holidays to demo three songs. Sometime, Times Get Hard and Hurt Me. Let us know what you think of the results, Paul.
Bar Bia, Saturday night from about Nine till late. The Lonesome Hearts/Pookah will perform for your delight and delectation. Come one, come all, and bring a friend as well, Paul.
