About Me


An update for 2008... The Sheffield Music Scene is currently one of the most vibrant in the country and this project aims to be a showcase or a "meeting place" where all the best bands from the surrounding region can be showcased.
Currently we're doing a monthly radio appearance with The Sound of Yorkshire (on Yorkshire Radio) and are working in collaboration with Square Indie:

If anyone is interested in having us DJ at one their nights / events then please get in contact; we think we offer something unique in that our "Sugar Spun" DJ sets are almost entirely made up of the very best local music - and we offer very reasonable rates (usually a few beers is enough to secure our services).
