Hi there, my name is mike esgate, trying to produce a rap musical and have a few tunes which think might go down well-not put my latest on myspace yet as i’m doing a music video for it.Just wondered if you could look for a date in the future for me to do a gig there-either an acoustic or with backing tracks or a space where I could maybe just do a couple of tracks?I’m from Crewe Cheshire.All the lyrics are written by me and all the music by my producer Jason Estridge.Hope to hear from you soon, thanks Mike
