hmv is set to put on free gigs in 110 shops across the UK this Saturday as the entertainment retailer marks National Album Day. More than 160 gigs will be taking place – all featuring local unsigned talent as part of the hmv Live & Local programme. The full list of gigs can be found on the hmv website.
Since the start of the year, more than 1,000 hmv Live & Local gigs have taken place, spotlighting talent and in many cases offering artists their first live platform. India Arkin, the first signing to hmv’s 1921 Records label and a National Album Day ambassador, will perform at the Newcastle store where she was discovered by staff in the first performance of her eight-gig tour.
The tour is in support of her debut record, ‘Home Truths’, which is available in a hmv-exclusive limited edition of 500 and can be pre-ordered online for home or in-store delivery using this link.
