About Me

There's only so many places your garunteed of getting a hug when you leave
I Fly Spitfires has been making inroads in the lagging Edinburgh music scene for the past two years.Their constant commitment to bringing Scotland's Capital the newest and best live music coupled with their passion for recorded music from across the spectrum of popular music designed for dancing has revitalised Scotland's capital and it's revellers.
This enthusiasm and eye/ear for quality has put them at the forefront of Scotland's young promoters and gained them a sponsorship with Drowned in Sound, Europe's most visited music website.
Although the clubnight which gave them their reputation opened it's doors for the last time in October 2007, I Fly Spitfires is still committed to discovering the finest young and upcoming acts and have so far done shows for the likes Foals, Blood Red Shoes, Kate Nash, Los Campesinos!, Good Shoes and Hot Club de Paris, to name a few, over the short time they have been promoting.
