Heretic Promotions

Hey guys, I just wanted to make you aware of the awesome Heretic Promotions, who are putting on some great shows over the coming months.  In order to bring fantastic bands to your attention, here at the Sludgelord I spend a lot of time networking on FB and this is how I came to know about these guys. 

Merrion Dewsbury who puts on these shows with his sidekick Oli, started doing it after his friends were complaining that there were no cool shows, sound familiar.  So, he figured he'd put on some shows and get some names and contacts with bands that he loved.  So, we got talking and I thought it would be cool to promote what he is trying to do on the blog.  So check out the info below and get yourselves to these awesome shows.
