SEE FRESH NEW TALENT AT FREE GIGS IN CORNWALL: Max Tuohy

A series of free gigs have been announced to showcase the fresh new talent of young musician Max Tuohy. Tuohy (pronounced two-e) has recently been signed to Ugly Truth Records, the home of Newton Faulkner. Since Faulkner’s initial success seems to have been linked to the fanbase he built up by doing intimate gigs around Cornwall, record company bosses have recognised the area as a good “testing ground” for new acts. Ugly Truth spokesman James Roberts said, “Audiences in Cornwall are always willing to listen to new artists and do not seem to be swayed by trends or music critics, they make up their own minds!”

Max has been described as “a young beatboxing Jack Johnson with the soulful voice of David Gray” and has also been pegged as “one to watch” for 2009, so catch him while you can for free at the below dates next week.

10th Sept - Boujis, Truro
11th Sept - Tap House, St Agnes
12th Sept - Sandsifter, Godrevy
13th Sept - Miss Peapods, Falmouth

OASIS PLAY EXCLUSIVE EDEN GIG!

Oasis are set to play an exclusive show at The Eden Project in Cornwall on 27 September. The band are currently preparing for their sold out UK tour, which kicks off this autumn. The Eden gig is the first time they’ve played in Cornwall (and they haven’t played in the UK since Feb 06), and will be filmed for global broadcast by MTV. Tickets will be available to buy through a raffle system – fans will have to register on oasisinet.com to enter a draw to win the chance to buy up to two tickets to this exclusive (and very exciting!) gig. Registration opened at midday on 29 August, and closes at midday on 5 September. Successful applicants will be notified on 8 September and will have four days to buy their tickets. Oasis’ hotly anticipated new album, Dig Out Your Soul, is out at the start of October.
