The Velvet Rooms and Community

This week we're joined by James and Jake from The Velvet Room who you can find on Instagram @thevelvetroom_official

You can keep up to date with information regarding upcoming gigs and single releases.

We discuss the music scene in their local area of Aberdeen where they give some shoutouts to other bands such as The Castros and Sister October.

Music and fashion is often linked together with a band's image often playing a key role in terms of style. This is explored with how fashion has changed at gigs and on stage over the year.

The band discuss the impact that Bonnie from Reation Management has helped support them by getting gigs in different areas and helping them with their promotion. Check out the great work she does @bonniereactionmgmt on Instagram.

James and Jake give us an insight in to their plans for the rest of 2026 where they hope to play gigs in different cities and release another couple of singles.

Make sure and support your local music scene and interact with the bands by giving them a follow but most importantly going to see them.
