11th Jun 202111th Jun 2021artist, bread, knead to know, live, local scene, videoLeave a Comment

our Knead To Know feature today is the fantastic Tom Metcalfe Music! originally from Preston (we’ve known Tom a long time!) Tom has just moved to Manchester and is sure to be a familiar face on the local scene

not only writing his own music, Tom also works as a guitar tutor, teaching not only guitar but extensively music theory, which he is extremely proficient in – he’s easily able to make even the most complicated theory easy to understand for budding guitarists; we’ve spoken to him about all kinds of scales and he’s taught us a whole bunch!

he’s also a session musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer.. if you need anyone to jump in and help out on a track, get in touch with him! he attained a Master’s Degree with Distinction in Music (Performance) from Salford University last year with a record-breaking mark of 96! he’s often seen performing as a flamenco guitarist with dance accompaniment – definitely one to watch here in Manchester.

Tom will also be the featured artist tonight at Lions Den Bar Deansgate for Laura Farrow‘s open mic – come on down and catch him doing what he does, you’ll surely be astounded at his guitarwork! if you’re looking for a guitar tutor, get in contact with Tom for sure. one of the best around!

find him on Twitter at @tommetcalfe8 // Instagram – @tommetcalfe // his new website will be coming soon at tommetcalfemusic.com too!

our feature for today’s Knead To Know is the amazing Jessica Seymour’s Photography!

Jess is a photographer originally from Liverpool, but now based up in Leeds for university. She’s been getting involved in the local music scenes across the North West for a few years now, and has been working a bunch with creatives across Liverpool up until the pandemic – and is looking now to expand further out into Leeds now that things are opening up again

As restrictions ease, Jess is hoping to make an impact with photography, focusing on gig photography and photoshoots for musicians, but also hoping to expand out into fashion and portrait photography. We’re proper looking forward to what is in store for Jess over the next few months, and her photography is insanely great!!

find more examples of Jessica’s work over on Instagram at @seymour.snaps and drop over a message if you fancy getting any shoots or collaborations done! love to see creatives doing well and supporting each other.

‘This Is Just An Interval’ 🎧

15th Jan 2021artist, bread, gigs, live, local scene, videoLeave a Comment

bit of a different post for today but we just wanted to highlight this extremely important documentary that’s just come out in support of the music industry!

‘This Is Just An Interval’ is a short film created to highlight the effects that coronavirus has had on the industry, directed by Matthew Boone – in support of the #WeMakeEvents initiative hopefully this is able to reach those in government and educate them on the problems that live music is currently facing, and provide proper financial support for musicians, artists, and creatives in the music industry.

most of us all know about the devastating impact that this pandemic has had on local businesses, especially music venues and creatives – a real important one today

head over to https://youtu.be/bN9sI_P-gQE to find the documentary on YouTube, give it a share, a like, and make sure that it gets seen as many people as possible!

LOOK AT THIS we’re super proud of all of this!

so many amazing artists got involved with us this year, even with all of the chaos that’s been brought our way. we’d love to tag them all but there must be hundreds!

so much was happening! we even put on a few socially distanced gigs on which were super lovely. a highlight for us was that gig with War Stripes at the start of the year – incredible band with a huge sound

we’ve had so much planned and so much came to nothing, but nevertheless we keep on two releases by Adam Carpenter Music and four by michael webster too.. we’re looking forward to the new year!

a huge thank you to all the artists who have got involved with us, and anyone who has checked out any of the features or streams we’ve been putting on. you the best

hopefully we’ll be back out there, smashing out gigs open mics and releases on the regular real soon! see you all at a gig in 2021
