SPECIAL BRIGG MUSIC CLUB SHOW AT BRITANNIA LATE THIS MONTH

BY COUN JAMES TRUEPENNY

Brigg Music Club celebrates its fifteen years in business with a very special show at the Britannia Inn on the 29th of August. At our annual anniversary party we celebrate our past and look forward to the future. We have spent the last fifteen years trying to give a birth place to original music and to new acts. We also feel our best is yet to come.
However the 29th is a night of celebration with our friends. The incredibly talented and successful No Contest come back fresh from a European tour to promote their “What's past is Prologue” album. Local Brigg heroes Mat & Me play their favourite venue, Steel Town Punk stalwarts One Car Pile Up play there first show in Brigg for two years, The Brigg Music Club House Band celebrate 15 years as a group and Blue Light Red Scare, featuring partners James Truepenny and Sophie Brumby, open the show with their acoustipunk sound, plus the annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony to celebrate the bands organisers and worked of Brigg Music Club.
This show will be at The Britannia Inn, Wrawby Street, Brigg, North Lincolnshire on the 29th of August at 7.30pm, with free entry. 
Founders Mark Keith, James Truepenny and Nic Walker wanted a place to play that would be an organised show, so that new bands could have a “soft landing” on their first few performances and older bands could have a no pressure gig to experiment and develop. We also wanted a place that could train crew in the whole music business; how to set up and tear down a show, how to run sound desk, deal with people, promote shows, book venues, and to that end we think we have succeeded.
This year we will play our 200th Show. Bands that have played for us have gone onto national and international touring. Musicians that have played for us have gone onto national success, television coverage, record deals and radio airplay. Technicians that have got their start with us have gone on to form their own businesses, work for national companies and train at the highest level.
We are incredibly proud of our legacy but we look forward to breaking new bands, singers and musicians and helping people get started in the music business for many years to come.
