WIN TICKETS TO FRAZEY FORD AT GLASGOW AMERICANA

WIN TICKETS TO THE LIST'S 25TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

The fourth Glasgow Americana Festival is back and features over 30 acts at various venues over five days in an October slot for the first time.

It is rightly recognised and lauded for the quality of the acts it attracts to a city famed for its appreciation of great music. Since 2007 Mary Gauthier, The Wailin’ Jennys, Crooked Still, The Handsome Family, The Hot Club of Cowtown and The Stairwell Sisters are just a few to the names to have graced the Glasgow Americana stage and this year is no different. One of the main highlights in 2010 is Frazey Ford from The Be Good Tanyas who plays the 5pm show in the CCA on 9 October and we have three pairs of tickets to give away. On the night, Frazey will be joined by two other members of The Be Good Tanyas; Trish Klein - banjo, electric guitar and vocals; John Raham drums, the band is completed by Darren Paris on electric bass.

Grammy-nominated Tift Merritt, Eilen Jewel, Gurf Morlix, Girlyman, and Kevin Welch are among those heading to the city for a festival that has become a firm favourite on Scotland’s music map. Flying the flag for Scotland is Glasgow-based troubadour Roddy Hart, whose latest album, Sign Language, delivers a timely reminder of his exceptional talents as a songwriter and performer.

With continued support from The Scottish Arts Council and Glasgow City Council Glasgow Americana can only continue to grow year on year.

The List is turning 25 years old, and to celebrate we are holding a birthday party in a soon-to-be-disclosed venue in Glasgow on 22 October.

We're inviting some of our favourite bands from the last 25 years to play at this extra special event, plus we'll have some guest DJs and poets and authors giving readings in quiet corners. It's set to be a magical celebration of Scottish culture. More details about this exclusive event will be announced shortly, but in the meantime we have 10 pairs of tickets to give away to lucky List readers.
