Steve Amos (Manager of Aberdeen band Stanley) commented that he was “really looking forward to hearing the great music that is out there but sadly not getting heard due to the media jumping onto to the next big thing that sounds like Lady Gaga”. (should lady Gaga feel like applying I think they would be quite keen!).

Chris Grant, volunteer presenter at Cuillinfm hopes that it will be a big success to the station “I really hope that this competition will bring the attention to many people about CuillinFM and I hope it also helps independent artists, I’m delighted that its going to be taking part on Highland Uproar”

A lifelong passion for music matched with a geeky fascination for social media and websites resulted in the creation of Inverness Gigs back in 2010. The aim of the site is to help promote, support and generally raise awareness of the local music scene.In fairness fifteen years of being a psychiatric nurse never prepared me for the experiences that we have had over the last few years and the evolution of Inverness Gigs has certainly been a steep learning curve.I currently write (less and less), edit and co-ordinate most of the Inverness Gigs activities.Occasionally seen on Twitter, and  LinkedIn, if you want get in touch you can contact me via our Facebook page.
