About me:

......

WE ARE COMMITTED TO ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO TAKE MORE CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES BY CREATING CHANCES FOR ALTERNATIVE AVENUES INTO EMPLOYMENT. THROUGH CREATIVE ACTIVITY, WE AIM TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR LOCAL PEOPLE THROUGH EMPOWERMENT, BUILDING CONFIDENCE, FRIENDSHIPS AND OTHER LIFE SKILLS AS WELL AS HAVING FUN. AS A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE WORKING WITHIN MUSIC IN LEEDS, WE ARE COMING FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE FROM MUCH OF THE REST OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. OUR AIMS ARE SOCIAL IN TERMS OF BENEFITING PEOPLE RATHER THAN TO CONCENTRATE ON MAKING A PROFIT. THIS DOES NOT STOP THE ORGANISATION FROM MAKING A SURPLUS OR PROFIT ALTHOUGH THIS IS PLOUGHED BACK IN TO THE ORGANISATION RATHER THAN GOING, AS IN A PLC, OR EVEN A CO-OP, BACK TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS OR WORKERS.
CLOTH CAT STUDIOS PROVIDES FREE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE IN THE HYDE PARK & WOODHOUSE WARD OF LEEDS.
WE ALSO AIM TO PROVIDE OTHER RESOURCES AND SERVICES THROUGH MUSIC WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING. WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LEARN NEW SKILLS THROUGH THESE COURSES IN MUSIC AND WANT TO FIND NEW INVENTIVE WAYS OF PROVIDING AVENUES INTO EMPLOYMENT THROUGH MUSIC AND ITS ASSOCIATED CREATIVE ARTS. WE ARE CONSTANTLY WANTING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEEDS OF THE MUSIC COMMUNITY ARE IN THIS NECK OF THE WOODS, SO IF YOU ARE A MUSICIAN OR IN A BAND IN LEEDS, PLEASE FILL IN A COPY OF OUR ON-LINE SURVEY AND LET US KNOW.

    Juffage

    The one-man dynamo and all-round noise-tinkerer needs no introduction. Suffice to say he's back to do what he does best!

    "Jeff T. Smith (a.k.a. Juffage) is changing the face of experimental music as we know it." - Emily Rippe, Toledo City Paper

    "Chicago one-man-band Juffage loops everything he can fit into his car." - Michael Byrne, Baltimore City Paper

    MinionTV

    The very excellent MinionTV from Liverpool write soaring epics akin to a more sppoky and atmospheric Sigur Ros. among other successes, their material has been used in a car advert for Lexus and an advert for CSI. The work is far from innocuous however. Top stuff!

    "They sound like the musical equivalent of cresting waves and seagulls."
