13th December - Cracktown's Christmas Special (The Acosutic Menance) at Music HQ

Music HQ's Christmas party is a little different to the norm as Acoustic Wednesday is given over to Hull's acoustic terrorists CrackTown to put on possibly the wildest Acoustic Wednesday yet. Having wowed The Tigers Lair on a previous performance CrackTown could not wait to come back and drag with them their posse of alternative acoustic acts. Expect biting satire, sly humour, poetry, guitars being mangled and more at The Christmas Party to end all Christmas Parties (please note the playing of Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade is highly unlikely!) Links: CrackTown - www.myspace.com/hullcracktown2 Music HQ - www.myspace.com/musichq

Acoustic Wednesday is held every week at The Tigers Lair, 63 Anlaby Road, Hull, HU3 2AJ and its reputation is spreading far and wide, to Australia, America and even Huddersfield!, with acts from outside Hull clamouring to appear alongside the home grown talent.

Any acts wishing to appear at Acoustic Wednesday or anyone wanting more information about Music HQ can email director Darren Bunting at darren.bunting@yahoo.co.uk or visit Music HQ's myspace page at www.myspace.com/musichq

Anyone wishing to send CDs for consideration for Acoustic Wednesday or any of the other events, training or services Music HQ offers can send them to: Music HQ, 75 Willerby Road, Hull, East Yorshire, HU5 5DZ
