even after the Christmas break we’ve had some sensational open mics on Tuesdays at the Grafton Arms and Wednesdays at The Lass O’Gowrie!

they’ve been super busy with so many talented artists performing for us, it’s brilliant to see it continuing on into the New Year – plus, we’ll be back at the Flour & Flagon and Foundry Project Manchester in mid-January so keep your eyes peeled for them.

if you’re keen to perform at any of them, drop our very own michael webster a message for a slot – always a lovely environment and quality performers!

Just The Crust 02/01/23: Marc Todd – I Got Life ⚡️

2nd Jan 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Marc Todd “I Got Life“!

a familiar face on the North West scene, Marc’s been performing across the region playing his original songs and we’re huge fans of his music. he’s graced us with his presence a fair few times now, and with an album already under his belt, he’s returned with this brand new single.

it sounds incredible, maintaining an upbeat atmosphere whilst still feeling laid-back and relaxed, his vocals sit real lovely on top of his acoustic guitar playing, and his lyricism is uplifting and so put together, real worth checking out this track! it’s a great indication of his talents and we can’t wait to hear more from him.

you can find the single on all streaming platforms when it drops this coming Friday 6th January – head on over to his Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/3XNMlVauQoiqjtEsVI2h3g to find all of his music!

Just The Crust 26/12/22: michael webster – waterlines 🤘

26th Dec 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, michael webster, new music, release, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune from our very own michael webster “waterlines“, taken from his EP “a northern perspective“!

the first single from the new EP, “waterlines” is a hard-hitting alternative rock tune about the difficulty of indecision set to a background of 90s’ grunge-inspired alternative rock. it’s a tune that you will have heard if you’ve been to any of his shows, having had it in the set for the past few years and finally putting it out in a studio version

with a chorus of “i wanna stay in, but i wanna go out.. just another dilemma of the nineties’ crowd”, it’s an introspective and bleak outlook at the state of 20-odd year olds today, those who yearn for a life of adventure yet also want to take time to bask in the solitude of their comfort. it’s one of our favourites from the new EP!

you can find the full music video over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/2DWjDPo3jIg – plus, the EP in it’s entirety of seven tracks is available on all the streaming sites too!
