Festival of Britain - call for artists
As announced in the last mailout,
The Magpie's Nest is producing Cultura Obscura as part of the Festival of
Britain, in association with the Southbank Centre, on Saturday 7 and
Sunday 8 May. The Southbank Centre has set up several beach huts for
intimate music busking opportunities, and has asked the Nest if some of the
musicians amongst our supporters would like to set up camp and fill the
riverside with their tunes. If you're interested in playing, email sam_at_themagpiesnest_dot_co_dot_uk - limited
slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis!
Below is a full list of upcoming gigs
and shows - we look forward to seeing you at a gig soon!
