THE BRISTOL MUSIC INDUSTRY FORUM'S OWN RECORD LABEL
The Bristol Music Industry Forum has been, up to now, a talking shop for those in the Bristol music scene to air views and meet up with the like-minded.
We’ve often talked about wanting to get Bristol bands and artists noticed by the world outside the city as we believe what is going on here, right now, is as good as anything happening elsewhere.
Now we’re doing something about it.
Thanks to a generous offer by one of our members, the BMIF is to launch a 'not for profit record label', provisionally called BRISTOL SCENE RECORDS, to propel the very best Bristol bands into the spotlight and turn the focus of the music industry towards Bristol.
Our initial release will be a compilation cd/album of Bristol bands highlighting the high quality and range of music in the city. This will have full physical and digital distribution, and a press campaign.
Using funds from the sale of the compilation, we’ll then release a number of singles by Bristol bands with the purpose of getting them other label interest and TV/radio play outside the city.
We have one aim, which is to draw the attention of the music industry and record buying public to the exciting Bristol music scene. All money raised will be used to promote the bands by releasing their music, as all those involved in BRISTOL SCENE RECORDS give their time and expertise for free.
***PLEASE READ THIS BIT***
PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE US ASKING TO BE INCLUDED IN OUR RELEAES - it doesn't work like that. This is how it works; if you are a Bristol band, gig regularly in the city and have local radio exposure, then we already know about you and you WILL automatically be considered for future releases. This is the ONLY way to be considered for inclusion.
The record label is run by a handful of volunteers, but this site is run by a single volunteer, so although I read all the messages & comments, I don't have time to reply to them all. However, I'm interested in what you have to say and really appreciate all the support.
