RICK FULTON

About Me

I'M THE SHOWBIZ EDITOR OF THE DAILY RECORD. I ALSO REVIEW TWO UNSIGNED MUSIC ACTS EACH FRIDAY IN SOUNDCHECK, AS PART OF THE PAPER'S RAZZ ENTERTAINMENT SECTION. EACH WEEK I WILL PUT UP TWO SONGS FROM THE TWO ACTS I'VE REVIEWED ON THE FRIDAY. IN THE BLOGS SECTION I WILL PUT UP MY REVIEW WITH THE MYSPACE OR WEB ADDRESS OF THE ACT. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL GIVE AN ARCHIVE OF THE MANY AMAZING SCOTTISH TALENTS OUT THERE. THIS ISN'T ANOTHER JOURNO EGO RUB (ALTHOUGH I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PIX) BUT HOPEFULLY ANOTHER USEFUL TOOL TO GET UNSIGNED SCOTTISH ACTS OUT THERE AND TAKING OVER THE UK AIRWAVES. SEND DEMOS FOR POSSIBLE REVIEW TO RICK FULTON, SOUNDCHECK, DAILY RECORD, ONE CENTRAL QUAY, GLASGOW G3 8DA.
