50rpm

Our next gig is on Sat 12th September with the wonderful Mercury prize nominated I Am Kloot's John Bramwell.

On John's last visit to 50rpm, he played to a sell-out crowd and received two standing ovations. John has a way of connecting with an audience that few can match.

A wee reminder that we have some places available for all the gigs we put on for those who would like to come along to one of our gigs, but find it difficult for whatever reason, whether that be due to finances or health related or being new to the area. We are a friendly and welcoming bunch.

Community means a lot to us. It's what holds us together.

When we started 50rpm, the idea was simple. To find a sustainable and viable way to bring live music to our town, providing a platform for touring musicians and a launching pad for local talent, while making the community feel part of it.

We feel we have succeeded in doing just that. It has been hard. Covid, lockdown, Brexsh*t, a cost of living crisis & the lack of government investment in the arts have all been hefty challenges, but we are still here fighting the good fight.

The main reason we are still here is down to the community we have built and the members that are our foundation. Without our members, we wouldn't exist. Our members aren't your average music fan. They turn up gig after gig, no matter the type of music, supportive & encouraging to whoever graces our stage. That is a passion that has gave us a global reputation amongst musicians as a unique & vital place on the live circuit.

Where ever you live, search out those amazing places and people that are putting on live music, and support them. Break out your comfort zone and go and see something you normally wouldn't... you might just be surprised.

What a fantastic show last night from Matt McGinn. Matt is a truly gifted songwriter with an outstanding ability to really connect with an audience.

We were treated to a mix of new songs & songs from his 5 albums, as well as some from the band he also plays with, Dead Goat.

It was also a night where we honoured friends no longer with us, with both Heather & Brian, who were huge supporters of Matts, being remembered in song.

A thoroughly deserved standing ovation ended the night from a wonderful audience.

If you aren't familiar with Matt's music, go check him out. It is life affirming stuff that really sticks with you.

Thank you to Matt, everyone who came along, and to Brendan, Colette and their team at the Georgian.
