Following the world success of Amy Macdonald’s debut album ‘This Is The Life’, selling three million copies globally and reaching Number 1 in five countries (including the UK), the Scottish songbird will perform songs at Hard Rock from her brand new album ‘A Curious Thing’. Amy MacDonald is touring across the UK in Spring 2010.
‘Scouting For Girls’ was the debut album released by the popular indie-pop band that reached Number 1 in the UK album chart for two weeks. Formed in 2005, the London-based trio will perform tracks from their new album ‘Everyone Wants To Be On TV’, due for release in April. Scouting For Girls recently announced details of their 22-date tour throughout April and May 2010.
