   About Jim Goes Solo {is looking for shows...}




Jim Goes Solo.

That's me that is. I really like doing this solo stuff, and I hope you like hearing it, and continue to do so.

I've recorded a full length CD with Dan Balsom and Russell France recently, which I'll endeavour to keep well stocked. It's going to be called 'Place Mats', even though someone did suggest something significantly better, I just forget what..

You can normally catch me playing at the Grand Hotel in Folkestone on its open mic nights. I'm also always on the lookout for shows, so if you want to book me, send a message. Or email me at jimgoessolo@hotmail.co.uk .

Love,
The Jim.

Coming to you at the Compass Club this Friday we've got GAMES NIGHT, and we've got JAM NIGHT! Hosted by Hip-Rockers ShyChlo and the Boyz, and also fetauring ElectroPop solo artist Timothy Edwards, it promises to be a blast.

Between bands there will be a chance for you to get up and give us some of your own songs, just bring an instument along and let us know on the door that you wanna play. There will also be big screen (projected on the wall) DAYTONA USA, complete with sterring wheels and pedals for even more fun.

All through the evening tables will be littered with classic board games for you to challange your mates to.

How much does all this fun cost? Just £2. That's how much. And with double vodka's and coke available for £2 all evening you'll be scraping the barel for excuses NOT to come out and have a play!

But games, drinks and cheap entry aside let us not forget that the night is all about shuffling your feet to some awesome music.
Make sure you check out the myspaces for ShyChlo and the Boyz and Timothy Edwards.


See you there? Doors open 7pm.

Hey people, sorry for the bulk message! Its just gone to myspace friends.



I just wanted to let everyone know that my 2nd EP is done and its FREE for download now, cos I suckered PUNKTASTIC recordings to put it out for me.



So, either go onto a special 2nd myspace page I set up just for this EP and download all the tracks and artwork individually, or click on the links below to get it all as a .zip file.



The page is www.myspace.com/mikescottepdownloadpage. Its in my top friends if this link doesnt work on your browser.



The downloadable .rar file link is:
