Indigoecho shine a bit of light (20th Mar)
Indigoecho recently completed a 4 date tour in Scotland.
The band played at:
Strathclyde Uni
St Andrew's Uni
Westport Bar Dundee
Mercat Edinburgh
The Tour went right into the heart of the mainstream playing to students and music lovers all over Scotland.
'We were looking to be Salt and Light where ever we went' said Clive Parnell (lead singer). A great moment for the band came at St Andrew's university (not because Wills bought a CD) but because the crowd were seen singing along to the bands songs and the Christians were seen worshipping.
'We have seen how much hard work touring in the mainstream is but can see the benefits, some of which might not see fruit for years to come'.

Martyn Joseph Offends Censors? (05th Apr)
Martyn Joseph reports that the second volume of his live album is ready to go. He'll be finalising art work this week and should have stock in around 4 weeks. He was due to appear on Songs Of Praise this weekend but the show (filmed in Glasgow) has been cancelled for Sunday, due to the passing of the Queen Mother. It probably won't get shown now until August or September. Apparently there has been a lot of trouble getting the show past the censors, and Martyn wonders whether he might actually have been the cause of the show's postponement!
