Half My Heart Beats is earlier than usual this month!

If you follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook you may already know that Half My Heart Beats is a week earlier than usual this month, on Saturday 19th May.

We'll be playing the sweetest indiepop, 60s girl groups and more from 9pm til midnight. As ever, entry is free and drinks are cheap!

This is a one-time-only change of timeslot so we'll be back to our usual fourth Saturday berth in June.

Half My Heart Beats tonight

Time for our monthly 'Half My Heart Beats is tonight' post!

We'll be playing indiepop, anti-folk and girl groups from 9pm til midnight tonight at The 78 on Kelvinhaugh Street, Glasgow.

Entry is free and there are drinks offers on all night.

Remember to like our new Facebook page and we'll keep you up to date with all our future goings-on.

Our Facebook page has changed!

Half My Heart Beats | Promote your Page too

Some of you may have noticed that our Facebook group has undergone some changes recently. Sadly, the old group has been migrated over to a new-style group which meant that we lost most of our 300+ members.

In the spirit of starting afresh we've created a Facebook page that you can 'like' instead. The page has some limitations from our point of view, namely that when we create a group event we can only invite people from our own (Colin and Lynsey's) friends list, and not the people who have liked the page. Confused? Us too.

If you want to keep finding out about our nights you should do one or more of the following:

- subscribe to this blog's RSS feed
- Follow us on Twitter
- Like the Facebook page and check it regularly, or change your settings so that any new posts to the page (such as events) will appear in your timeline
