Just a quick update for you on the goings on of the Mostly Toast world..
The studio in The Northern Quarter is now fully up and running. We are going to open the studio up to singer songwriters every Saturday for what we are calling our "fastrack" service. It's like a drop in centre for musicians to get a song recorded, all for just £20!! Check the blog for more details....
The Mostly Acoustic gigs down at Nexus and the monthly Mostly Toast nights at The Green Windmill are going really well. We've had some amazing musicians playing some great music.
Box Kid (http://www. myspace. com/boxkidband) are still in the studio but the recordings are sounding great and we're really looking forward to getting them mixed, mastered and released!!
To Sophia ( http://www. myspace. com/tosophia ) have already finished their recordings and have an album launch night sometime soon!! They will also be launching a new website in the very near future too!!
We have also embarked on a new project called The Mostly Toast Musicians Co-Operative. Members will receive a range of benefits including 10% discount on all studio bookings, help finding gigs and monthly workshops on a variety of different topics from guest speakers.

This is an unmissable show! After the rave reviews of Sam Amidon's last show in Manchester, where, in league with Red Deer Club, we arranged for Sam to play at the Unitarian Chapel with a string quartet, we couldn't wait for the opportunity to bring him back. Since that time, his album All is Well has been critically lauded and the media have finally caught on to the New Yorker's immense talent.
Incredibly, the opportunity that has arisen includes a touring party from Sam's Icelandic label, Bedroom Community. Sam will be performing with a six-piece band, including legendary producer and Bedroom Community chief, Valgeir Sigurðsson.
And if that isn't enough for you, Valgeir will also be performing tracks from his own album, Ekvílibríum, a critically lauded masterpiece of electronica-laced folk.
To cap it all, the night will be kicked off by support from Manchester's own acoustic-electronica maestro, Denis Jones; having waited two years to play in this wonderful venue, he will be playing his fourth show here inside two months, after support for Jack Rose, Phosphorescent and Chris Corsano.
Hey Matt, Has been a while since I saw you at the View Two Gallery in the 'pool. Hope everything is going well for you! I'm playing as part of "The Country Club" @ The Bay Horse, Manchester this Sunday (april 6th) if you fancy coming down. Should be a great night! Sarahx
