Calum Miller - P.J Molloy's - [email protected]! I began working as a self-employed gig promoter in 2008. From there, I started my company Weekend Revolution, working with artists from all over the UK and bringing them to Dunfermlines various music venues. As time went on, PJ Molloys became one of our key venues so in 2010 when the opportunity to acquire the lease presented itself, this is what we did. Since then, we have worked to build a musical hub for Dunfermline as well as continuing to bring national acts to the likes of The Alhambra and Glen Pavilion. Over the next 5 years I want to see Dunfermline's reputation for its live music scene grow and hopefully a few more venues can benefit on the back of this. I see live music and shows as an integral part of Dunfermlines evening economy, and going forward hope to increase the number of people choosing to come to Dunfermline for this reason.! Alan Roy - Park Music - [email protected]! I own Park Music in Chalmers Street selling musical instruments, and we have been there for four years now.
