Lewis Jackson has been booking gigs and promoting music for over four years now, under the name Live Forever Promotion. Jackson certainly knows what he’s doing in this industry – each event racking up a crowd who are always left eager for more.
We’ve caught up with the promoter to discuss his latest gig at Mucky’s.
Hi Lewis. We’re really excited about your event. For someone who hasn’t heard of these bands before, can you tell us a little bit about what to expect?
“Brogeal are a five-man folk band originating from Falkirk. Their unique blend of traditional music and rock is proving to be a hit with live crowds. These guys are growing in popularity at a very fast rate, securing headline shows across the country. You’ll see what all the fuss is about when you see them play live.
“Fuzzy are a five-piece indie band from Perth that have an abundance of experience playing live shows, with each member being an incredible songwriter. This is actually set to be Fuzzy’s first hometown show in Perth since they formed in 2020 – another reason to get down on Friday night.
“Then we have Knackered, a garage rock band from Perth, quickly becoming the city’s freshest and most exciting band. They bring with them a lot of energy on stage, and a loyal following that turns out in numbers every time they play!
“Jordan Gallacher is a Perth-born lad fae the mighty North Muirton. Playing acoustic guitar and opening the night for us, expect to hear some of his own material and some covers. He takes influence from the likes of the Beatles, Oasis and The View.“
What led you to pick these artists for the gig?
“I’ve been wanting the Brogeal boys to play in Perth at one of these shows ever since I came across a video of them playing live. I was instantly hooked and have been listening regularly on Spotify – I’m really excited to experience it live for the first time“
“The same goes for Fuzzy – I have been wanting to see them for ages and am a great fan of their songs.
Can you tell us about how you got into promoting music?
“I’ve always had an interest in attending live gigs for years, visiting shows in Dundee, Glasgow and Perth. With having that passion for live music, I decided to put on a gig night in Perth back in August 2018, with the likes of The Sandemans, The Niblick, Brain Glue and Medinas. From that night, I had such good feedback, with people constantly asking when the next one was. From that, I then decided to keep promoting live shows.”
Do you have any more events up your sleeve?
“LFP has a few different things in the works – follow Liveforeverpromotion on the socials to keep up to date with future events.”
