The not-for-profit label Last Night From Glasgow has been on the go since 2016. The second-ever release, with the catalogue number LNFG2, was a 7″ single by Emme Woods, a then 21-year-old locally-based singer-songwriter:-

I’m not sure what happened afterwards in terms of her relationship with the label, as there was no follow-up single, far less an album. I came across an on-line article, which details that she chose to go down the crowdfunding/pledging route for her debut album, but the company involved went into administration, leaving Emme, and many other creatives, high, dry and well out of pocket..
In due course, and with the support in particular of friends and family, a five-track mini-album, It’s Ma Party, was self-released in 2019.
Emme is currently a member of The Joy Hotel, a seven-piece band who formed a few years ago in Glasgow, and whose debut album, Ceremony, was released to a fair amount of critical acclaim in the Scottish press last summer. The PR blurb for the album suggests it is a mix of pop and country with arrangements reminiscent of the psychedelic scene of the 60s, complete with six-part vocal harmonies.
