Maple Leaves added to The Smittens/Just Joans/One Happy Island bill


Anna from Maple Leaves

Oops, have I really not written anything about this on the blog yet? A thousand pardons. The lineup for our July popshow is now complete with the addition of Glasgow trio Maple Leaves!

Lynsey and I have been on the trail of this band for a wee while now, asking them to play at Half My Heart Beats back in March. Sadly the band couldn't make it that time, but we're delighted they're available to play with The Smittens, The Just Joans and One Happy Island on 20th July.

At the time we asked them to play we had only heard one song, the quite brilliant 'Kirsty' which can be found on their Myspace page. They've since added another song, also great, sung by Julian.

Clearly we weren't the only one to be impressed by their Myspace demos, because Anna has been asked to sing on Stuart Murdoch's project, God Help The Girl, on the strength of them. The man has taste!

The next Half My Heart Beats is less than two weeks away, so expect more blog posts in the runup to that.
