   About Ross Fairweather & The Billy Shears
Hello. Time for an update. Was in France with the new band in September recording our album Songs De La Terre. Played a few shows and ate lots of bread. The past year has been quality with the Zutons support in March 2007, Howie Payne also in March 2007. December 2007 saw myself with The BILLY SHEARS BAND supporting Emma Pollock and topping the bill at Nice and Sleazys. So far this year we ve played The Tron theatre and The Renfrew Ferry. We ve managed to secure a slot on the main stage at BIG IN FALKIRK and a support with THE HAZEY JANES as well as gigs in Manchester and Aberdeen to promote the release of our record, SONGS DE LA TERRE which will soon be available on ITUNES and can be purchased by sending us a message here. Happy Days all round. Muchos love for ROSS FAIRWEATHER & THE BILLY SHEARS.

Hi guys

Thought you might be interested in this…we’ve got Martin Atkins (Nine Inch Nails/Ministry/Public Image Limited/Invisible Records etc) coming to the Tolbooth, Stirling this Friday (5th) to give a free lecture about how to get gigs and put a tour together. Doors open at 6pm, lecture starts at 7pm till 9pm. Great opportunity to grab some advice from a top music industry pro for free.
