Independent promoters are struggling right now. With people waiting to buy tickets till the week (or even day) of the show, it is hard to budget to make the show happen. Budgets often come from ticket sales. This is what so many shows/festivals are cancelling. 1/3
The return of ROAR fanzine! After a short break, issue 17 is now with us following 1986’s issue 16. A ‘1980s Leeds Bands Special’, you will find a nice long @weddingpresent interview amongst the other features – and cover artwork by Jon Langford! It’s free!
So, the music industry is hard enough. You don’t need bands knocking one another down. Let’s get a thread going of the best new bands. Tag the band, or add their best track. Lift each other up, don’t knock ‘em down!
Still tickets available for @Brixsmithstart live at @thetradesclub #hebdenbridge on Friday with her band featuring members of @MBVofficial and @DEUXFURIEUSES + special guest @JoanTheWadMusic Get them HERE >> thetradesclub.com/events/brix3

@AndyMcMCFC69 @StephenEHolt @inspiralsband @keepingitpeel That was a great recording session at Cargo/Suite 16 in Rochdale.
@simonWolstencr1 First studio I was ever in. Fantastic
@simonWolstencr1 Happy New Year Si, I have good memories of recording an ep there with @johnrobb77 producing when it was #suite16 he got me to record on the roof no less. 😀 Definitely one on the #bucketlist
FORGOTTEN RECORDING STUDIOS part 2 CARGO #MarkESmith #youcandrumbutyoucanthide #recordingstudios #Rochdale
@simonWolstencr1 I love the story of Cargo. John Peel had worked in a factory in Rochdale and had a soft spot for it - he supported the studio and was apparently always keen to play demos that were recorded in Rochdale x
A walk through Rochdale today and walked past the Cargo studios used in the 70's by Joy Division and The Fall plus many more artists now days its a digital studio. Across the road a plaque to where the singer Gracie Fields orginally lived. youtube.com/shorts/agUjhg5… #music #vlog
@charliemansell Love OMD. Top trivia for you Charlie btw: 'Electricity' was recorded at Cargo Studios in Rochdale (along with many other post punk bands of my youth) #upthedale.
Yes, we're biased, but, of course, Rochdale should be on the tourist trail…the Co-operative Pioneers, our incredible Town Hall, Cargo Music Studios, Gracie Fields, the textile industry…need we say more? buff.ly/3UWlkte
