we’re down at the Grafton Arms every Tuesday night from 7pm for our weekly open mic night!
in July we’ll have been there for four years – always an incredible night of local musicians, with an in-house kit and bass amp available to use. if you’re interested in performing, get in touch with our michael webster for a slot!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Little Louis” from Tom Collins! ๐
the North Wales based artist has been making waves over the past few years, with a run of incredible singles out and having performed across the country – plus, supporting The Sherlocks on their current tour! ๐ฅ
this is his first release of 2025, and he’s come out swinging with a hard-hitting, in-your-face tune that’s reminiscent of noughties indie, but with a modern feel – his songwriting talent really ensures that you’re hanging onto every word, and the story he conveys is down-to-earth and relatable. the song has a powerful energy, with a fierce singalong chorus, a lovely driving rhythm behind it and feeling fresh throughout the whole tune. a great listen and definitely one to watch for the future! ๐ค
we’ve had so many incredible open mic nights down at the Flour & Flagon this year! ๐ถ
we’re down there every Monday from 7:30pm – everyone is welcome to play and show us what you’ve got, or just come down and catch some of Manchester’s finest talent performing! hosted by our michael webster – get in touch with him or scan the QR code for a slot! ๐
we’ve just hit over 5k streams on the debut single “Jenny” from Eyam!
a massive thank you to everyone who’s checked it out, and for all the lovely support on it – we’re super proud of this tune, and for Eyam! keep your eyes peeled for more on the way
last Thursday, we had our fifth rendition of our monthly band shows “BAKED” down at the Eagle Inn was top! ๐ฅช
super lovely to see so many heads down to support local talent, a massive shout to everyone who made it – and our acts Mothbreather, CHIN and Soup Druid were brilliant. when you support live music, you can catch the best in your area! ๐ค
we’ll be back next month with our next one. we can’t wait already – you can keep track of all our gigs on our website at www.breadrecords.co.uk ๐
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Remembering” from Naomi Campbell! ๐
we loved her previous single “Don’t You Mind“, having reviewed it when it came out in November of last year, and she’s had an incredible run of gigs since then – we were stoked for this new single! โ๏ธ
“Remembering” takes influence from a variety of genres, including soul, r&b, 60’s and even 70’s rock – it’s a gorgeous tune, and she’s blended all of these genres expertly to create something she can truly call her own style. there’s so much atmosphere present within the track, with a range of instruments all working in perfect unison to form the basis, and Naomi’s vocal takes centre-stage with it’s power, commanding the listener’s attention, yet with raw and personal lyricism that truly conveys her emotions in a poetic manner. it’s a fantastic listen and a great first track of 2025 for her – we can’t wait for even more! ๐ถ
another Sunday, another update to our lovely Local Loaf playlist โ๏ธ
we’ve got some brilliant new additions from the talents of MR. FISH, MALCOM, Bonfire Tide, Yasmin Coe and Illmodes – well worth checking out this week ๐ a fantastic soundtrack to your sunny Sunday!
