50rpm

Directions Website

50rpm 50rpm is a community based arts organisation based in Coatbridge putting on live music & comedy. Members get a say in who we book and how 50rpm is run.

50rpm is a community based not for profit organisation, set up and driven by it members to promote music, comedy and the arts in the Lanarkshire area.

50rpm is a simple idea... 50 members pay an annual membership and in return get entry to a minimum of 12 gigs a year featuring a mix of established and the finest new talent. If you are an artist wanting to play 50rpm and don't know our capacity, where we are located, how we work or our ethos, then don't bother getting in touch.

It is the launch night gig for the debut album from Coatbridge's Feet of Clay tonight.

Well done to Garry John Kane of Button Up Records for all the hard work he has put in to release the record, and congratulations to the guys in the band for making a brilliant album.

You can get hold of the album from the Button Up Records website.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who came along to see Little Sparrow last night. I think you will agree it was rather special. Katie, Sarah & Robin treated us to a night of mesmerising songs and outstanding musicianship. Those vocal harmonies and interactions are something rather extraordinary and beautiful. If you get a chance to go see them, please do. We know you will thank us.

We tested out our new 4K video camera last night as we are looking to film all the shows at 50rpm, and we will post some clips from last night in our new Friends of 50rpm group page once we have edited them.

Thanks to Katie, Sarah & Robin for traveling such a long way to play for us. We truly appreciate it. This is why we started 50rpm... to be able to give a platform and an audience for such talenedt people as them.

Thanks to Brendan & Colette and their team at the Georgian for looking after us all.

Our next gig is not until the 6th of November, when we welcome a true punk icon, Attila the Stockbroker, with special guest Calum Baird.

The 50rpm team will also be at Butesong Festival at the end of October, so if you are going, we'll see you there.

Our new season at 50rpm kicked off in fine style last night with the wonderful Robbie McIntosh & John Goldie bringing their incredible guitar skills to town. Two absolutely world class musicians, and so down to earth for all the success they have had. Thank you to everyone who came along.

The reason we are able to do what we do is down to our membership. Our members are the reason we exist. Their membership fees allow us to be able to bring amazing music to our wee town, while helping support grassroots music and touring musicians. What our members support is vital for the arts.

This year we have been lucky enough top have some fantastic local business come on board and support us through sponsorship. All are businesses at the heart of the community in our town, so we are truly grateful that they see the value in what we do. Our sponsors are the fantastic newsagent and so much more The Candy Store, Tommy Tango's with shops on Main Street & Whifflet Street, family eye center Tuite Opticians Coatbridge at Easton place in the Whifflet, the delicious dessert shop Ice Lab on Dundyvan Road, and the brilliant record label Button Up Records.

We are finding it a bit difficult to let people know about our upcoming gigs due to Facebook's algorithms & not allowing links to tickets to be posted, but we have two amazing gigs on this week, with Robbie McIntosh & John Goldie on Thursday, and Little Sparrow on Friday.

We would of course love for you to buy a ticket and come along, but if you can't, it would really help us out if you could share our posts about our gigs.

Grassroots venues like ours are dying out, and when they are gone, they won't be coming back. Keep music live and support your local venues.
