http://www.kingtuts.co.uk/yoursound/
Your Sound is a networking initiative dedicated to unsigned and independent artists, bands and DJs of all musical genres, from Scotland and beyond, allowing them to establish and develop a fan base, and gain exposure within the music industry. Artists submit their music, from which Your Sound, King Tut’s and DF Concerts promoter staff select the best tracks to form the soundtrack of the monthly Your Sound event, then the chosen playlist of unsigned and independent tracks are DJ’d in King Tut’s bar throughout the afternoon. Your Sound has been running at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut since September 2005, and is held on the first Sunday of every month at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, Glasgow, from 4pm – 8pm.

19 November 2008 3.30-5.30pm Tickets: Free, but booking essential
The School of Life, 70 Marchmont Street, London
A seminar for organisations working with regeneration and urban renewal
A community/ an organisation/ a place can be seen as a tapestry of stories, each thread essential and compelling. The space to write down, savour and enjoy these words enables communication and sparks passion.
We all know the pen is mightier than the sword, but can creative writing ensure successful consultation? Can writers provide a vital role aiding regeneration?
Join us for a stimulating workshop on using literature and creative writing as part of the consultation process for change and urban renewal.
The workshop will delivered by UrbanWords (www.urbanwords.org.uk) and poet, Aoife Mannix (www.aoifemannix.com).
Email info@createkx.org.uk to book your place.
