Rockmine is Europe's largest independent rock music archive. It's a vast one-stop resource for fans and professionals in publishing, radio, TV, film and the press. Built around four enormous collections: the written word, ephemera/memorabilia, audio and video. Click the link above to get a feel for the size of it.
Rockmine's been working on a daily almanac for nearly 25 years. While it's no longer being updated online, you'll still get all the listings for every day of the year. A concise version of The Rockmine Almanac will be available early next year via Rockmine Publishing.
I've been struggling with a garage full of old music papers, ephemera, memorabilia and all manner of other things for years. Now that Rockmine's property is on the market for sale, it seems only sensible to clear the garage. This
blog and it's Twitter feed will keep you abreast of everything that's unearthed on a daily basis.
The Ballroom Blogs
Here's a chance for you to relive your memories and share them with others. Rockmine is launching a number of blogs crammed with dates of all the bands that played at some the world's greatest and most interesting venues. The lists are interspersed with images, audio and video clips directly relating to the time of the concerts.
It started with two small venues in the North East of Scotland - The Ballerina Ballroom and The Two Red Shoes and now we've added the Fillmore Auditorium and the Marquee Club which will be built up over time. Coming soon are the Avalon Ballroom, the Fillmore East, the Matrix Club and Glasgow Apollo. Check out the links at the bottom left.
TV viewing is changing, apart from more choice and flexibility, people are, whenever possible, constructiing their own programming. Rockmine TV aims to build on that.
Rockmine Television is now LIVE! To start you'll find all the Eurovision Song Contest Winners and 37 years of U.K. Number One Singles. That's 735 videos to start with and more will be added every day.
