The Music Network, Birmingham, 2008

The Music Network organises a NETWORKING EVENT on the last Thursday of each month, for the benefit of music related businesses in the West Midlands region. If you have any involvement in music, come and talk about what you’re up to and meet some new people. These Networking events are about all things music in the region. They’re about helping you to teach yourself how to do it, by yourself, for yourself and encourages you to share the knowledge with others so they can do the same.  If you are a musician, a student, someone who works with musicians, represents musicians, has involvement with the music industry, or are looking to make new contacts…..the meeting will be useful.

If you have news to report, a presentation to give, an event to promote, any new points for discussion, a pitch to make, business cards or flyers to hand round, an appeal for help, advice or guidance or even if you just want the free tea and biscuits and some serious discussion…you are invited.

You can also post in by email any news or gig dates or press release information for inclusion on the website and for distribution through the mailing list and RSS feed. More details on the website.

There will be luxury chocolate biscuits and good coffee for all. There’s food and drink afterwards supplied by the creative networks too. Please pass this invite on to Musicians you know or anyone else who you think may benefit.

Vocalists wanted for recording

Musician, singer-songwriter Ben Webb is looking for vocalists for a new project.

Ben writes: “Basically I’m looking for both a Female and Male vocalist for a Dance/Electro track I’m producing.  It’s going to be aimed for placements in the gaming industry as well as possible film/tv.  Vocal style, along the lines of Jessie J, Katy B, Magnetic Man, Pitbull and Far East Movement.

Another track, I’m looking for a Male vocalist, in the style of David Gray, The Script, Matt Kearny.  It’s an Adult Contemporary, singer-songwriter track aimed for Film and TV placement. Note this one is rather urgent, as I already have projects that I can pitch to, but don’t yet have the master!There will be a chance of huge exposure for the artists chosen for recording!

Ask people to email me on ben_webb@live.com with a link to past recorded projects so I can hear how they sound recorded.”

BALLING THE JACK at Blues Kitchen, 111 Camden High St, London, NW1 7JN

Here’s a message for anyone into blues music…..

BALLING THE JACK at Blues Kitchen, 111 Camden High St, NW1 7JN

Thursday 13th Jan 8.30pm onwards ** FREE ENTRY**

Little Axe’s solo gigs are almost unparalleled blues experiences as he channels the ghosts of the Delta – Wolf, House, Patton and Johnsons (Robert and Blind Willie!) – through 21st century technology.

Skip ‘Little Axe’ MacDonald is one of the big dawgs of modern blues. He is a veteran of the Sugarhill Records house band, backing Grandmaster Flash amongst other early rap artists. In the ’80s he was founding member of Tackhead with… producer Adrian Sherwood. In the early 1990s he started experimenting with his first love, the blues. In 1994, as Little Axe, he released the pioneering dub-techno-blues album, The Wolf that House Built. Five further albums have followed on Fat Possum and latterly Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records, including last year’s superb Bought For Dollar, Sold For A Dime. www.little-axe.com

Support comes from cellist-vocalist Hannah Moulette, who taps England’s folk roots and mixes and loops in blues, jazz, gypsy to create a thoroughly 21st century brew. www.myspace.com/moulettes

What’s more it’s FREE ENTRY and I (Joe Cushley) will be spinning a variety of 13 Bar Blues ranging from 1920s Hokum to brain-frying punk R’n’B from the day after tomorrow, via African and European strains of the boogie disease.

First 50 punters also get a copy of the Balling The Jack compilation I put together for Ocho Records. http://tinyurl.com/32je49s

SEE YOU THERE – * FOR FREE * – FOR THE FIRST UNMISSABLE GIG OF THE YEAR.

SMN is run by Sostenuto, a local company that delivers quality funded projects for and using the Creative Industries.
