Esperi's upcoming gig is picking up a lot of press north of the border.

The velvet voiced acoustic songsmith is set to play Stirling's Cafe Crema this friday, and both Jockrock and Glasgow PodcArt are shouting the news from the virtual rooftops of the world wide web.

Tickets are £6 on the door, and you can even bring your own bottle. If I was anywhere near Stirling this friday, I definitely know where I'd be.
