Guess what, gig time again!  Edinburgh's Juniper Promotions has some
more great gigs coming up - I hope some of you want to come along!  And
do pass this along to anyone else who also might be interested - be daring!
go out! watch live music!

Friday 13 October is Juniper's first autumn show with Kieran Docherty, who
will be at Cabaret Voltaire for an early show with **7pm** doors.  Tickets
will be £6 adv/£7 door.  Kieran is a leading light in Glasgow's acoustic scene -
influenced by a range of singer-songwriters as diverse as Roddy Frame,
Paddy McAloon, Neil Finn and Nick Drake as well as contemporaries such
as Damien Rice and Ryan Adams, Kieran's unique brand of acoustica draws
on country, pop and folk traditions to great effect.  Find out more here:

On Friday 20 October, the one the only Nick Harper is playing Cabaret Voltaire
in a early show with doors at **7pm**.  Tickets are £8 adv/£10 door.  If you
don't know about this already legendary singer/songwriter/guitarist, then you
need to know what you're missing - Guitarist magazine recently dubbed him
"Dylan for the iPod generation".  But don't just take their word for it - you
have to see the man they call Harpic live to truly appreciate his unique talent
and charm.  Check out the following sites for news, music samples, and more 
(and yeah the thind one is mine ;):

And make sure to hear him in session with Janice Long in the early hours of
Friday 13 October on Radio 2!

Pauline Black is the first lady of ska - the charismatic frontwoman of the
Selector.  Jake Burns is the main songwriter and vocalist of Stiff Little
Fingers - he's their heart and soul.  Along with Nick Welsh (Selector) and
Roddy Radiation (Specials), they make up the "acoustic supergroup" 3 Men 
and Black, who will be at the Liquid Room on Monday 4 December for an early 
**7pm** show.  Don't be late - the very special support that night will be none
other than the Bay City Rollers' Eric Faulkner!  All these artists will be
giving you an acoustic tour of their musical pasts, and there's always a few
surprises along the way.  Tickets are £12 adv/£14 door.  More information
about 3 Mean and Black can be found here:

(Also, don't miss Glenn Tilbrook with Antonio Forcione at the Queens Hall this
Thursday evening, 5 October - it's not a Juniper gig, but we definitely approve)

I'll testify (indeed, I often have ;) to the talent and entertainment value of
Juniper and its gigs/musicians.   We would love to see you and your friends
along at the gigs!

Cheers,
Paula
