In 2009 SiZe will be hosting nights further a field and also increasing it's involvement in local festivals. The clubnights will return in the Autumn but as things stand the summer is set to be taken up by festival slots and releases on the label..
Kevin Costner said
"If you build it they will come."And he was right. Which is a bit of a turn up..I always thought he was a twat..
This is NOT about making money..this is about finally creating a scene in West Cumbria that attracts good music and gives us something to look forward to other than the usual rubbish that goes on week in week out. SiZe is a collective with lots of different people doing their bit to make it happen..this includes YOU.

SiZe is the brainchild of a 32 year old music obsessive who got sick of listening to the shite pumped out the speakers in all the local pubs , he was sick of having to travel hours to see any decent live music and he was sick of people complaining about both of these things and doing nothing about it...or so the story goes.
A selection of the bands currently signed to SiZe Records..
NEW SIGNING SUMMER 2009..CATFISH & THE BOTTLEMEN !!!
'Energetic, economical and unpretentious pop. Some of the most well-observed pieces of lyric-writing I've heard in years, quite special indeed'. Steve Lamacq, BBC 6Music
'A blur of sweat, passion and windmill limbs, The Shallow Call tear the stage up like primetime Jam, hinted at by frontman Phil's Weller-style chewing of mic and bug-eyed twitching of guitar - and all this with an added Manchester swagger. The band have a set full of anthems that sound like the soundtrack to a generation, the sort of tunes that need to be heard'. John Robb
'The Shallow Call look every inch like a rock band. They play, with every single decibel like a rock band. And they have all the right tunes, just as any real rock band should have.' Manchestermusic.co.uk
