Win tickets to see Ash play a very intimate gig in Glasgow


So I go for two years and don't have a single competition, then in the space of a month I run two, I guess I am starting to get a taste for giving stuff away. Anyone fancy taking Jim 'Ayetunes' off my hands then? Thought not....
On with the important details and the like, Ash are going to be back in Glasgow next Tuesday to play a very special stripped back gig at Oran Mor. Having already had Doves performing at the last Miller Filtered Music gig; it’s now Ash who will play to 500 fans at Oran Mor on Tuesday 9th November. Support on the evening comes from Glasgow's very own, Aerials Up and Edinburgh’s Alan R Davison

There are still a limited number of tickets for this gig available, priced at just a fiver,be quick though as they will sell out. For tickets, updates and more info become a fan over on Miller Filtered's Facebook page.

Right here's the bit that you're probably looking for, to win simply tell me:
What was the name of Ash’s ex-guitarist and what band does she play in now?

Closing date for the competition is Friday 5th November 2010.

Send your answers, along with your name and contact details to: peenkoblog@gmail.com with 'Ash Competition' in the subject line. Mind as the gig is being out on by Miller, it is over-18s only.

Beerjacket
In case you missed this earlier in the year, the lovely Peter Kelly has now put up a copy of his Bruce Springsteen cover of 'Dancing the Dark' up to download for free on his Bandcamp page. I would strongly urge you to check this out if you haven't done so before, it's class.

Burnt Island
The Glasgow-based indie folk band fronted by the novelist Rodge Glass, have put their debut single The Moments Before/Timeless Colours' up to download for free here.

"The next Glasgow gig I do is the Mill at Oran Mor (731 - 735 Great Western Rd) on 4th March. It will be with one other band Sugar Crisis and I’ll be on last (gigs are early in there though so please get there sharpo!). Tickets are free and can be sent to your mobile if you text Mill32 to 82500. You can also register on the Mill website for some which will be on there shortly! The night is 8pm - 10.30pm so please pop down for a boogie if you can! I’ll hopefully have some new live tune additions to the set too."
