Hippy - Glasgow

Thanks very much! 4 twats that should know better but we're grateful to still be playing music. Let me know if you're around and no pressure at all but usually plenty guests list available.

Quick update here, feel free to ignore!

We played a decent gig a couple of weeks ago at Room2 - went well. Got some folks along to witness it and also BBC Radio Scotland/ music journo man Billy Sloan attended and was very complimentary. He's played us now 2 weeks on the trot on his show. Yours truly here even got a mention!

Definitely not ordering custom colour Bentleys but was good to get a bit of a lift by all that. Me personally it's always a buzz to play in front of backdrop visuals I've created as well.

The band have put out a cover of the Fab Four's 'I've Got A Feeling' - it's at the usual spots and here:

Sure, not groundbreaking originality but was really one we had from a while ago so put it out for promoting the gig. Hope we did OK with it.

More up to date band stuff is at:

hippy.music

over at Instagram. If you're on there and want to follow, we always follow back unless you're an unhinged psycho. We hope to announce more gigs soon or even a few longer haul ones if they can be arranged. If anyone wants us that is!

All useless trivia, none of it changing lives or even attempting to. Just 4 old blokes playing music. Thanks for reading.

We'll be playing Glasgow again next month. Was to be Nice N Sleazy but they decided to be 'interesting'. We've been rehoused at Room2 at short notice and we're now looking forward to that.

Tix available and a few guest lists will be available too. If anyone interested give me a shout. Tix link here as well, couple other acts on too.

July 20th
Room2, Glasgow 
Doors 6pm

Hippy 
Balderdash And The Thing 
The Sensitive Souls 

For the geeks/ enthusiasts I'll probably be playing a couple old Strats into an old TnB Selmer. Should be a good night, last one was decent and we had BBCs Billy Sloan along who was very generous about the band and yours truly.

The joys of playing original music. 50,000+ in the home city (Glasgow) this weekend for TRNSMT. We'll be lucky to do 30 tickets for this!  

All good though, wouldn't have it any other way. If anyone is in town (Glasgow) next Saturday night and would want a guest list just let me know here or by PM. If you're on Instagram then the page is hippy.music - we'll always follow back too.

That sounded pretty good despite the dodgy phone mic! I'll come and see you sometime if I can, but I'll be away those dates.

Not a worry on the upcoming ones - hopefully there will be others later this year too.

Many thanks

We did some radio last night as an acoustic 3 piece if anyone interested link here:

https://player.autopod.xyz/1021060

Link genuine, not a virus! Will link to the station (CamGlen). There's some chat and a few tunes, our nonsense starts about 32mins in.

Sorry there's no subtitles and the sound isn't the best at times - I didn't have a mic so there's always that as a positive

If you do give it a go, let us know what you think!

Cheers
