Flying Pixie Promotions & Music Managment
Welcome to Flying Pixie Promotions & Music Management. I was thrust into the music industry quite by accident while assisting some friends of mine to gain a gig North of the Border! Further gigs ensued, along with positive feedback and my enthusiasm for taking things further grew. I started working with the IVAN DREVER BAND early in 2009 and had a stint at managing the band through 2009/10 The content of my work involves booking and promoting gigs, press and media (radio etc) involvement, working with agencies and all the nitty gritty work which leaves the band free to do what they do best - write and perform their music to the world. I am the administration behind the talent I guess... I have also been involved with the national competition Live & Unsigned / Open Mic (see links page) since early 2009. I will endeavour to help where I can with bands/artistes not on my roster and if I am not in a position to fulfill a job, I will be honest and let you know, but I will always reply to enquiries.

Peter Coia

Peter Coia - Songwriter, Composer and Musician.

Born - Bellshill, Lanarkshire, Scotland on October 4th 1952.

After leaving school in 1967, he worked as an apprentice engineer during the day and played guitar in local bars and clubs in the evenings. From his teens to his early twenties he performed solo and in a variety of bands playing styles ranging from Country Western & Folk to Pop. He also learned to play bass guitar, keyboard, classical guitar and began writing and recording his own music, lyrics and poems.

Peter is now an accomplished musician, composer and songwriter, who writes and produces a mixed variety of material under his own label ‘Peter Coia Music’. Although his singing capabilities leaves a lot to be desired (and he is the first person to admit this), the quality and variety of his compositions and his versatility as a musician are exceptional.
Most of his recordings are made in the studio where he plays many of the instruments himself. Peter Coia now lives in Stirling, Scotland and as well as producing music for ‘Peter Coia Music’, he is the managing editor of 'The Scottish Post'.

There were three albums and two singles released by Peter Coia in 2008 for digital download.

The Cellers
Currently meandering through Scotland with a compelling live set rooted on spiraling harmonies and bohemian swagger The Cellers are finely poised to launch a crusade to higher climbs. Elements of The Coral's quirkiness, The LA’s melodies and the gravitas songwriting of Crosby Stills Nash and Young have all been cited by keen eared listeners from their acclaimed debut EP Thai Whiskey Tears. With an ensemble of beautifully crafted songs ranging from haunting tales of small town desolation to calamitous denials of stalked desire, all delivered with charismatic verve, the band are carving a reputation as one of Scotland's finest live acts.

The Fortunate Sons
The Fortunate Sons are dragging music from the manicured hands of fashion back to the swamp. Hailing from the southern suburbs of Glasgow, The Fortunate Sons have been in their current line up for little over a year. Now in their early twenties, the potential of the band has been recognised by legendary producer/songwriter Kim Fowley (The Byrds, Gram Parsons, Warren Zevon, John Lennon) who invited them to record with him. Displaying a determined work ethic and achieving prolific output, The Fortunate Sons have concieved a rich sound knee-deep in the blues, tinged with impressive harmonies. Currently unsigned, the band's highly accomplished live performances are not to be missed!
