Best Independent Record Label FINALISTS! โœŠ

how amazing were the North West Music Awards from Red Spot Events the other night?! ๐ŸคŸ sadly, we didn’t win, but to even be finalists alongside Jacaranda Records and Sour Grapes Records was absolutely insane. they’re doing some absolutely incredible work and we’re in awe to have even have been nominated. Congrats to Jacaranda Records for winning!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

another big shout is to MILLICENT for winning best music video, James Holt for winning best solo artist and Waterloo Music Bar Blackpool for winning best venue! there was SO much talent nominated and we’d have loved to have seen everyone win, but that’s just the way it goes! ๐Ÿ–ค

we just wanna say a huge thank you to Olivia Browse Adam Carpenter Music and Anyoneโ€™s Ghost – this isn’t possible without you guys, and running this label is a blessing to know all of you amazing people and help put your music out. I’ve been doing this on my own for a long time and it’s really awesome to see that the work I’ve been doing has been recognised like this. ๐Ÿฅฐ

a final thank you is to everyone who’s come to a gig, bought a piece of merch, listened to any of our music – you guys who support us really keep us going. this is the reason why I keep on at all of this, it’s often quite a hard thing to do, but the support of the community keeps me going. I try to keep the label and my own music a lil bit separate, but thank you all – a brief word from michael webster ๐Ÿž

Knead To Know: Jessica Seymour – Photography! โ˜€๏ธ

Just The Crust 17/05/21: Tay Temple – What I Need โ˜€๏ธ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the absolutely lovely new single from Tay Temple, “What I Need”! ๐Ÿค˜

coming off the back of her previous release “Train”, Tay is back with another absolutely fantastic tune. She’s been working relentlessly over the past few months to get her music out there and we absolutely love this new song! ๐Ÿ˜Š

this tune is an anthem of self-worth, with such a positive message – a daring outcry that things will get better, and even with the lows, there’s bound to be highs to contrast. backed by her band, they add such life to the track, with lead guitar riffs that drive the track on and on, and a rhythm section that pushes the track forward with such intensity that compliments the message of the song so well. amazing stuff, definitely one to keep your eye on for the future!! โค๏ธ

head on over to Tay’s Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1uNRHTeriBvMbdp2XgdEZ3 to check the song out, and it’s available on all streaming sites as well! โœŠ
