Submission thanks from Glagowbury HQ

In the days and hours remaining until Glasgowbury 2009, festival organiser Paddy Glasgow opens his heart to thank everyone for their submissions and interest.

“The amount of submissions we got through the door this year was staggering,” he said.

“And there was a massive sense of pride at seeing so many bands and artists wanting to come and play our small but massive festival – even if our postman had to go into semi-retirement afterwards.

“And finalising the line-up wasn’t an easy thing to do because there really is so much talent coming from every corner of the country.

“But the line-up that we have decided on is, we think, a fair representation of the varied acts and styles currently working hard for the good of the Irish music scene.

“Like every other year, Glasgowbury 2009 is about the acts, unsigned or not, and giving them a platform to express themselves and get their music heard by a much wider audience. And with dozens of acts spread across four stages, I think there really is something for everyone.

“Such was the response from the music community north and south and throughout the UK that we could easily have put on a massive two day celebration – and maybe some day we will reach that milestone.

“I just want to take this opportunity to thank every person, every band and every artist who took the time to contact us, to send us press packs and who took an interest in what we’re trying to do for the good of the music scene.

“We look forward to seeing you all at Eagle’s Rock and whether you’re playing or just enjoying the music, we thank you all for your support in keeping new music alive.

“Small but massive.”
