Very much into music especially the flourishing North Eastern music scene, we can make anything from a full blown music video (see Little Comets video for "One Night In October") to a live video (see Fran O'Hanlon live at the Bridge Hotel) to posters and album or EP art work (see Waterfront "Hands Down" EP and recent posters). Don't be afraid get in contact with us.
