We are extremely pleased to have the The 45s on board for Modernism, an evolution in style.

The 45s have made a name for themselves on the Glasgow Mod scene with barnstorming performances, jam packed sets, and bustling dancefloors. With a superb vocalist who's been likened to Daltrey and Burdon to name but a few, and a sound that's a blend of 60s Beat, RnB, and Southern Soul, this lot are not to be missed.

Tickets for the event are available now from

A massive thank you to everyone who attended my first Searching for Soul presents event. I think I speak for everyone who attended when I say Rise above it by Mono Media Films is a great piece of film making telling the story of fantastic Stone Foundation

Thank you to Neil Jones & Neil Sheasby for making the journey north, the music and banter was top notch.

David Blair and Room 2 many thanks for your hospitality and great work with the sound and screening.

A massive thanks to The Guitar Trade Centre for sorting the lads out with the guitars.

And to the hosts of our after party in Vinyl Bar excellent as always (sorry about my bricked decks everyone)

Neil McKenzie Keep It Creative for the excellent photography

Last but not least thanks to my mucker Douglas Milne for your help driving and on the merch.

I will be making an announcement next week about another exciting event, so watch this space.

Cheers,

Graham
