MUDKISS SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER UPDATE

HI TO ALL FRIENDS OF MUDKISS.
OUR UPDATES FOR
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012
Copy and paste the links into your browser if they don't work.. Let us know if there are any broken links.
Well the Festival season is slowly coming to a close, and the dismal dark nights are drawing in. We've done quite a few Festivals again this year, not as many as we might like to do, but still keeping our hand in. Of course this year was a first for us at the  great explosion of colour at Rebellion in Blackpool, what a superb weekend that was. I think we are still recovering, and of course being supportive with our local music Festivals, the Warrington Festival and Rochdale. Also we managed to get press accreditation for Boomtown Fair, Liverpool Sound City, Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia, Cambridge Folk Festival, Dot To Dot, and Nice & Sleazy.
We had our  very own Northern Mudkiss music Event and it was a great success. All proceeds from the night went to the bands taking part. Maybe another in Manchester this next year....who knows? [I have yet to do a little write up about it, but we have been so busy since then]

DO YOU WANT TO JOIN US?
Are there any budding music reviewers keen to join Mudkiss? We are looking for dedicated and committed writers, maybe you are a student keen to have a go? We are getting a steady influx of newly released albums, singles and EP's. We would look at the very least 3 albums a month for you to review. So if you think you might have what it takes send a message to editor@mudkiss.com -with some evidence of your work. All we ask is that you don't mess us about.
