Hit The Road Tour Hits Edinburgh At The ‘Dockers’
18 August 2016
It Skjør sounds a tasty gig! ( pronounced ‘sure’, it sort of kills the visual pun, does it not?)
Moving on! Participating in the National Youth Music touring project, ‘Hit The Road’ 2016, Edinburgh band Skjør, will be playing a Headliner home gig at Leith Dockers Club, moving on to Glasgow and Kilwinning from 18-20 August.
Managed by the Scottish Music Centre; the project provides young musicians living in Scotland, between the ages of 14-19 years old, the opportunity to learn about the live industry before embarking on a professionally managed tour. ‘Hit The Road’ aims to equip young artists with the knowledge, contacts and tools to work within the live industry and is funded by Creative Scotland’s Youth Music Initiative (YMI) and PRS for Music Foundation.
The project has acted as a key stepping-stone for some of Scotland’s most promising young artists. Notable alumni who have benefited from participating on a Hit The Road tour include; KLOË, Model Aeroplanes, JR Green, Indigo Velvet, Aylee, Man of Moon, Be Charlotte, and The Mermaids.
SKJØR. Edinburgh-based indie rock band Skjør (pronounced ‘sure’) released their debut EP ‘Nature’ in November 2015 accompanied by a headline show at Electric Circus. Since then, Skjør have supported acts like Lisbon, Teleman and Nieves and performed at Edinburgh’s The Big Discovery Festival and the Hidden Door Festival.
