goNorth - The Gigs @ Dundee, 5-6 June

Musical showcase goNorth is back and this year is travelling to Dundee. Aimed at bringing representatives from the music industry to the north so that acts from the Highlands and Islands can strut their stuff on their own patch, this year looks like being the biggest yet. With at least 60 acts, Q&A sessions, and seminars on screen writing, designer fashion, publishing and even a few film premieres, there is plenty to attract both the casual gig-goer and those intent on getting their head into the creative industries. Better yet, all goNorth gigs are free and open to all. As ever, the event will host talents from not only the northerly regions, but from across the rest of Scotland and various corners of the globe. Some of this year's highlights include Edinburgh’s Broken Records, Dundee’s Avast, Fife’s Underling, and Shutter from the Highlands. Held in six different venues across two days, and with a wealth of contemporary talent, goNorth 2008 can only be a winner.
