About Me |
|
Hey guys,I'm Josh McClurg, a singer-songwriter from St. Helens who is now living in Manchester.Been gigging since November 2007, and in this short time I've been lucky enough to play at some really good venues (Dry Bar, Castle, Trof, Thirsty Scolar) and supported some amazing acts (The Sugars, who've just been signed, and Jon Gomm among others!) and met some great people (Andy, Ben, Ollie, Freddie, Phil, Tom, and Ian to name but a few). This summer I am about to travel around Europe with my guitar. I am booked to play at a Bob Dylan Festival in Ireland this summer, and should hopefully be getting some gigs in Berlin and Hamburg too. Oh yeah - leave me some nice comments please - just to get me started! Some past gigs I've played at: 1st June 2008 |
