linen industry

...an organic hub, connecting artists and creative groups

About Me

Every last friday of the month we put a few live musicians into a venue and have a good time. At present we are based at the Big Blue cafe on saddler gate with doors opening around 8 and closing about 12. Entry is £2 which includes a free cd of featured artists
linen industry is a premise that has been forged out of the confusing, jumbled mess of aspiration, doubt, self belief and desperation of two local musicians.we are aiming to nurture an organic hub that connects people, artists and promoters through a simple appreciation of creativity and productivity.we reckon that expression should not necessarily be sold and distributed through a consumer-based industry but that creativity is the axis of community and that music and art move freely, without constraint and without elitism or privilege....so we're looking for local musicians and dj's plus special guests from out of town, covering a range of musical stylings to ensure some genre-tastic subversion and audiophillic interactionif you like the sound of what you are reading please contact me by emailing [email protected] Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!
