   About Welfare Mothers
"Rather intelligent, rather good alternative English indie rock, touches of Stone Roses in there with their falling Autumn leaves, touches of lots of things actually, mostly about good songs and refined sounds, a band with a little more depth and a touch of indie rock class to them, lot of body and soul to their guitar rock.

They’re from Brighton and this early shot is well worth your time, sounds like someone should put this out as a single, they’re a little bit more than a demo band already, Saving Up is particularly good in a brooding broken hearted tearing up Elbow kind of way." - Organ Magazine.

Hi there!!

If you are interested on recording your LIVE SHOW don’t look any further.

We are the BEST and CHEAPEST way of tracking your show on to Pro tools.
From Big gigs to small venues we can adapt to your requirements.

Get an excellent sounding live album, even if the sound on that night wasn’t excellent, because we record a separate signal , so what goes to pro tools is a completely clean and unprocessed signal, ready for us to mix down.

I think a Fender '72 Deluxe tele would really enhance the dynamic of the band you know, probably a burgundy one as they're clearly the coolest and only owned by massively cool people.
