Rockmine's Blog

Rockmine's been working on a daily almanac for nearly 25 years. Get a taster of it every day with "Today In Music" and news of our latest memorabilia additions when they're added.

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.

Rockmine TV

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.
