Knead To Know: Jessica Seymour – Photography! ☀️

21st May 2021knead to know, live, local sceneLeave a Comment

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.

find all of our features, reviews, gigs, and more here on our website at www.breadrecords.co.uk!

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?)

we’ve got ourselves a proper boss weekend of live music and livestreams for you all

then on Saturday from 5pm we’ve got our Cream of the Crop: December *special*! where a grand total of 8 artists playing us into the seasonal fun! we’ll be raising funds for The Trussell Trust

and finally on Sunday night from 8pm we’ll have the amazing Tay Temple performing for us as part of our Fresh Batch: Tay Temple! feature where we get some of our favourite local musicians to play an extended set for us!

we can’t wait to enjoy ourselves and have a glass of wine or two whilst we’re still stuck in tier 3!

Bread merch still available! 🍞

just a reminder that we’ve still got these t shirts available!

we don’t really make any money from any of our other features, so the best way to support us would be to buy our merch over at www.breadrecords.bandcamp.com/merch we’ve also got some tote bags and cds available. we can pop it all in the post too! in order to reach more people and share local music, it’s kinda essential we have a marketing budget – and also, it’d be super boss to see people rocking bread t shirts!

feel free to drop us a message to get one, or you can buy them from our Bandcamp

Every little helps! 🍞

we’re super happy with all the amazing support you guys have given us over the past few months especially over lockdown! hitting 1000 likes over on Facebook was immense! 🤟

here’s just a post to remind you that we do have merch available, and it’s probably one of the best ways to support us financially! we’re only a small independent label and don’t have the funds for a whole bunch of stuff, but every purchase helps us more and more 😊 we have t shirts and tote bags available!

you can find it all over here on our website or on our Bandcamp – there’s also a load of music on there too for your listening pleasure! just drop us a message or go there if you’d like to help us out! 🥰

modelled by our very own smiley michael webster – also ps our next episode of Grain Radio will be out tomorrow!!

#WeMakeEvents ☀️

15th Aug 2020bread, local sceneLeave a Comment

we’re fully in support of the #WeMakeEvents movement, it was great to see so many people out there in Manchester making the case for better support for live music and the industry 👊

we had so many plans pre-lockdown for gigs and huge things, sadly all of these had to be cancelled but we’ll be back soon with even more stuff to come! 🍞

Thank you to you all for your continued support! 🍞

oh wow. we’ve almost hit 1000 followers, and just under 900 likes.. it feels like just the other month that we were posting about hitting 600 likes! 👊

a huge thank you to everyone who’s supported us, especially during the global pandemic – it’s turned everything upside down for everyone, but really forced us to rethink our approach and features and presented a real challenge! 🙃

we’re always looking at ways to help out the local scene, and being an independent label presents us with financial limitations and the such but the support of the community keeps us going 🖤

big shout to all you guys. if you’d like to help us out in any way, we have merchandise available on our Bandcamp and lots of music from our artists! go check it out at www.breadrecords.bandcamp.com 🥰🍞
