it’s #bandcampfriday!

for today, Bandcamp are waiving their fees and so all sales of music and merch go directly to the artists, and labels! a great idea for musicians during the pandemic.

we’ve got a whole BUNCH of releases over on Bandcamp at www.breadrecords.bandcamp.com featuring music from michael webster and Adam Carpenter Music! go and check them out, and show a bit of love!

we’ve also got a load of merch, including our t-shirts and tote bags from michael’s ‘live at Spirit Studios’ EP – and ALSO a few tapes from The Cosmonaut Cassettes! any merch sold today will be sent out asap!

(ps, here’s two of these silly promo pictures we made for past Bandcamp Fridays. is this how you market music effectively?)

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

in the light of the current crisis, with all the venues closing, pubs shutting, gigs being cancelled there’s a hugely amazing response from the online music community, in livestreams, releases and the sort! 🙂

we’re trying to gather a load of Manchester indie musicians content in our group, Bread Social – the response we’ve been having is incredible and well worth checking out! 🥰

go join it at https://www.facebook.com/groups/163554604039243/ and be one of the cool kids 🍞🍞🍞

Bread gig cancellations :(

19th Mar 202015th Apr 2020bread, gigs, local scene, michael websterLeave a Comment

we’re so sad to announce that these two gigs James Carline Single Launch and michael webster EP launch! are cancelled until later in the year 😞

this isn’t a decision we’ve made lightly, but due to current circumstances we think it’s best! make sure you go and like James Carline and michael webster to keep up to date with any information they release! 🙂

it’s such a shame that one of our busiest periods of gigs have all been ruined by the spread of this pandemic! once this has all gone over, make sure you go out to every local gig you can 🍞

Cream of the Crop 21/03 postponed!

18th Mar 202015th Apr 2020bread, cream of the crop, gigs, local sceneLeave a Comment

we’re sad to say that Cream of the Crop: 21st March will be postponed due to the pandemic! we’ll hopefully be able to reschedule the gig for the future! 👽

make sure you go and check out all the artists we had involved Jessamine Grace Benjamin Finney Mathew Kerry and Cloughster – they’re all fantastic and you should go and stream any of their music they have online! 🍞

Tiny Changes Fundraiser postponement!

17th Mar 202015th Apr 2020bread, gigs, local sceneLeave a Comment

we’ve not taken this decision lightly, but our Tiny Changes fundraising event this weekend has been postponed due to the current climate 😞

there’s been growing concern amongst artists involved about the morality of asking people to come down and potentially risking their health / other’s health just to come to a gig – especially as Lions Den Bar Deansgate have taken the precaution of shutting for the indefinite future 👽

we’d like to shout out our artists who were involved in the gig, including Harrison Rimmer Mathew Kerry Benjamin Finney Olivia Browse Laura Farrow Wanda Roslyn Adam Pilgrim – make sure you go and listen to any of their music they’ve got online! if you want to support the amazing Tiny Changes cause then please donate to them 🍞
