About Me



PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT BOOKING ANY MORE SHOWS UNDER HOFJ.
The House Of Flying Jaggers was a non profit promotions community running hardcore/metalcore gigs in Edinburgh on a monthly/fortnightly basis which operated from 2005 until closure in 2008.
Ran by Iain Porterfield and Craig "The Animal" Lawson, HOFJ aimed to run shows putting the bands and the fans first. All proceeds from shows went directly to the bands. We are against Pay To Play, it is a disease which is ruining the scene and we strongly advise you avoid it at all costs.
Some of the ex members of HOFJ feature in the following bands:

Craig - Carve The Future - www.myspace.com/carvethefuture
Iain - Hitcher - www.myspace.com/hitchermusic
Stuart - The Party Program - www.myspace.com/thepartyprogramuk
