MONDAY 30 NOVEMBER
LISBEE STAINTON
The hottest new female pop folk singer launches her debut album. Already with Radio 2 record of the weeks for the recent single this is much anticipated. Major new star in the making.
VENUE : THE SOCIAL GT PORTLAND SQ.

GUESTLIST : Via her My Space page. Many industry expected.
MONDAY 30 NOVEMBER
THE NEW GOVERNORS
The best band to come out of Bournemouth since Air Traffic play their debut album launch. Sophisticated acoustic indie rock and with the showcase gig for THE MISMATCH ( inc Mesh 29 and Candlethieves members ) as main support.

GUESTLIST : contact band on their my space. One major already confirmed for this and several agents. Two of the hottest new bands in London.
On 30 November it may be possible to do both launches - I think LISBEE's gig is at 5p.m and the other one is at 8.30 with the main acts on at 9p.m
The Whybirds second album launch on Saturday was packed with fans and a good industry turnout as well.
Though the industry is collapsing - there are still several smaller acts doing well out there.
