Happening this Sunday folks!

Next Sunday following on from last weekend’s in store with Howie Reeve and Cod O’Donnel we’ve got the last of our August in stores featuring none other than Michael Cassidy.

His new album was released through our good pal Scottish Fiction and “is a collection of songs written during that tricky late-20s’/early-30’s period. Although not written in a collective spirit it is clear to me now that they all occupy the same space with many.”

It’s great to support local musicians and labels here at SGR and this one won’t disappoint!

SOUTHSIDE 🙌

Michael Cassidy will be performing live instore at the fabulous Some Great Reward on Sunday 28th August at 4pm

Ask nicely and he might even sign a copy of his record for you 😉
