Two intimate gigs worth looking out for. Firstly the next Carling Homecoming event will see Primal Scream play at The Garage in hometown Glasgow on 11 Apr. The 500 tickets for the event can be won at www.carlinglive.com.
Meanwhile, Badly Drawn Boy has announced he will play a one-off acoustic show at the Comedy Store, Manchester on 9 Mar. Billed as BDB’s only Manchester show this year he will be supported by James Yorkston and the Athletes, and Aidan Smith. Tickets, limited to two per person, need to be bought directly from his label – send a cheque (£15 per ticket) made payable to Twisted Nerve Records to 4th Floor, 50 Newton Street, Manchester.
