About Me

we're Anna, Hugh, Jen & Theo, four music fans based in Bristol (UK) who put on gigs, tours and occassionally put out records, all for no personal gain, simply because we love the bands and artists in question. yeah, yeah. we sold our haloes on ebay.

***We're keeping things a bit quiet on the gig/tour front at the moment. Anna & Theo are doing a weekly radio show on ww.bcfm.org.uk - check it out here: www.myspace.com/wordofmouthradio , while Jen is working on her degree and her own record label, Dulcet Thud .***

We've done tours for: 7 Hertz , Annette Buckley , Bucky , Cajita , Men Diamler , SJ Esau , The Girl From Headquarters, Jar , Jeremy Smoking Jacket , Rose Kemp , Caroline Martin , North Sea Navigator , Underground Railroad , Joe Volk and Jeremy Warmsley .

We released a 25 Track Compilation CD entitled FACTION & FANDOM featuring music by some of the artists who have graced the stage at our nights. Needless to say there wasn't room to fit on all the awesome bands who have played, but the track-listing (see below) is still pretty damn special. It's currently available from all Fact Fans shows priced 5 pounds; from the HERE Shop (Bristol), Jumbo Records (Leeds) and Rounder Records (Brighton); and via paypal:

1. I Got A Bad - SJ Esau
2. Glasses In Rock - Bucky *Previously unreleased*
3. No Reason - The V.Cs

***If you buy something (Thanks!!) please message us to tell us as Paypal sometimes don't e mail us to notify us of purchases.***

We've also released CDs by Id Lab , Cajita and Mustard Allegro - hopefully we'll be sorting out Paypal for those soon, though the Cajita mini-album has sold out, in the meantime you can buy Id Lab releases through the Id Lab website: www.idlab.co.uk
