Gripper - A Life of Consummate Ease
OUT NOW !


Gripper's eagerly awaited debut LP is finally here! The record boasts a beautiful and evocative mix of styles including tuff hip-hop beats, laid-back summer sunset vibes and deep and soulful house which results in a modern yet timeless feel that gets better with every listen. IDJ gave it 4 stars out of 5 whilst Basic Soul said "amazingly, the quality is consistent right across the board and it is this impressive variety that is the making of this album". Available on CD, MP3 and ultra-limited double vinyl! Order your copy now.

Gripper - What's The Big Idea?

Gripper’s first single ‘What’s The Big Idea?’ is a sick combo of heavy psych-surf beats and mellow guitar, guaranteed to rock any dancefloor. Also taken from ‘A Life Of Consummate Ease’, ‘3 Minutes’ features tuff KRS style hip-hop beats under a heavy distorted guitar riff. Another club stinger. The exclusive non-lp track, ‘The Right To Know’ is dark, percussive and left field. Strictly limited to 300 copies. Order your copy today!

***Local bands/producers and music fans listen up!***

Tonight at the Canteen an evening of top class band and music industry masterclasses.
If your a song writer, producer or in a band you'd be a fool to miss this event!

Wednesday 6th May at The Canteen

Generator and the Barrow in Furness Music Co-operative present a day of seminars and workshops designed to support both the artistic and professional endeavors of the musician.

Songwriting Masterclass with Jon Byrne / 3pm - 5pm

With a musician whose influences are so diverse, expect this session to draw in all kinds of music and be concerned with quality work, both in song writing and composition. *limited spaces still available*

A&R Panel Session / 6pm - 7.30pm

Faced with the shrinking profits, record labels are adopting a new approach. So do bands and artists now need to do the same? How do artists generate interest from record and publishing companies to begin with? What are the terms of a deal likely to be these days? This panel contains a broad cross-section of contemporary thought, on how artists can cultivate their own careers.

Panellists include -

Caroline Elleray / Head of A&R Universal Publishing

Debs Wild / Music Industry Consultant, Coldplay - various

Craig Pennington / Dead Young Records
