   About I FLY SPITFIRES
There's only so many places your garunteed of getting a hug when you leave

I Fly Spitfires has been making inroads in the lagging Edinburgh music scene for the past two years. Their constant commitment to bringing Scotland's Capital the newest and best live music coupled with their passion for recorded music from across the spectrum of popular music designed for dancing has revitalised Scotland's capital and it's revellers.

This enthusiasm and eye/ear for quality has put them at the forefront of Scotland's young promoters and gained them a sponsorship with Drowned in Sound, Europe's most visited music website.

Although the clubnight which gave them their reputation opened it's doors for the last time in October 2007, I Fly Spitfires is still committed to discovering the finest young and upcoming acts and have so far done shows for the likes Foals, Blood Red Shoes, Kate Nash, Los Campesinos!, Good Shoes and Hot Club de Paris, to name a few, over the short time they have been promoting.

I Fly Spitfires is in association with the good folks at Drowned in Sound

My latest podcast now available for free from iTunes & radiomagnetic. com.

Jim

Jim Gellatly's NEW MUSIC #3 - recorded Saturday October 4 '08 - Partick Thistle vs. Dundee, Firhill Stadium, Glasgow.

Episode #3 of Jim Gellatly's NEW MUSIC sees Jim exploring his two main passions… New Music and Dundee FC! Prior to Dundee's away game to Partick Thistle, he links up with some Jags fans who are putting on a series of gigs under the Firhill Music Collective banner… and gets a live acoustic track from local rock'n'rollers The Primary School. It's then off to the game itself, with musical accompaniment along the way from another selection of acts starting to make waves… Wake The President, Hidden Masters, The Draymin, Rags & Feathers, The Fire And I, Alex Cornish and Dance Lazarus Dance.

"A wonderfully atmospheric piece of slowcore post-folk.
" - The List (single of the fortnight), 4/5

"(eageowl)'s slow-burning, fragile folk refuses to betray youthful energy, instead moving with care to preserve the peace behind each song.
" - The Skinny, 4/5
