I am part of a duo who have just been signed by a manager in Accrington. we are currently working on tracks to be recorded for a demo to be sent out in the summer to some big record companies down in London. We will keep you informed on how we are getting on. If you have any queries or any question we will be more than willing to answer them to the best we can.

Good luck mulstonian. 
michelle if i haven't been signed then why do i have a CONTRACT and i thought YOU had a manager. coz according to a member of your BAND says you haven't. Anyway i dont want to fall out with you an if you want i can sort you out with an audition. that is if you want to. But dont go having a go at me ok.
so much bitching on here. i've been playing for years and a stack of my mates are also in bands. experience tells me that very few if any of you will make it big.
that does'nt mean give up but it does mean chill out a bit and enjoy playing and performing for what it is.
you never know, you might be doing it at nearly 30 like me and earning a few quid on the side.

THe biggest mod band in Accrington was the Itch, don't know if they are still going? Perhaps Stanerlee knows em?
Can't access that web-site yet bk2bk as this library has a net nanny and it won't let me on your site.
Very few people in bands make a lot of money out of music, don't believe what you read in the "Mirror, Sun, Star!" etc you have to have lots of massive hits to make millions. These people like "Steve" arn't going to see money for years, what you read in the daily comics is all hype!
The way to make it big is to write songs that are commercial and will get on the Radio it's that simple! And even then you may not see much money. But it doesn't mean you can't have a laugh and enjoy making music.

michelle if you must know one of charlotte church's songwriters has sent my manager a song for us to record on to disk for a demo so in answer to me not going anywhere i guess you were wrong and also WE are doing a gig in Manchester on staurday night so i think im doing a lot better
ok..duo...band....Whats you called?
It doesnt matter whos better!
I will always be trying to write songs. No matter whether or not i am as good as you or just as bad as the worst guy, Its about the music & making it means a lot more to me.
And well i prefer to write for myself & i wouldnt accept something like " charlotte churche's songwriters sent us a song to record" A real accomplishment is making the people like a song I( or you) wrote, Not some manufactured piece of garbage(which is exactly what it will be) ( not saying my music isnt garbage hehe) Now if mark eitzel sent a song to you to record, Then i will be impressed!!!.
Again i guess you havent been signed to a label, And instead of answering me you continue to say "im better"...I doubt you will get anywhere with that kind of attitude. Or maybe i am wrong, I just have this really bad habit of thinking everything i write is bad....
And of course i would be happy to hear anything of anybodys you can send me a mp3 or something via email.
Have fun
Robert
ps remember is about the music not whos better between mulstonian1 and Chelle....Bitterness poisons the soul!

reading again above you say " why do i have a contract " - i am guessing the contract is between you and your manager.......Who will send to record companies, But will they listen?
How would you describe your music? who you like?
Best duo i know is - gillian welch and david rawlings!!
Anyway......I heard there was a accy band signed to a label....The woman who has the paper shop at bus station was saying her son was in the band...and was given a 10.000 advance

Take it from me it's better to try and fail than think later in life "What if?" I know someone who's lad played football for the reserves at Bolton,,he's now out of football and in full time work,but he can't turn round and wonder what if? So if your in a Band or what ever go for it! Life's a one shot deal and most never get second chance's!'
Hey,yep you're right. I've been writing lyrics (and melodies) for a long time now and having recently formed a band last year I was extremely proud to have my lyrics made into songs. The fact that 'mulstonian' says he is getting somewhere (which for him... did I actually say you wouldn't? It was you that text me that :s) but anyway, it doesn't bother me that if I don't get signed through our manager because I still know myself that I have written those lyrics and made some pretty gd songs, which is more important... And mulstonian,saying you're 'better' doesn't make the slightest impact on anyone's judgement. Robdun24 - we have a couple of tracks recorded if you wanna hear, we're a rock/pop band named Established - unsigned and doing gigs this Summer. If you go on www.soundclick.com and search 'Established (UK)' you will be able to download a piano version of one of our latest songs
hiya everyone! im in a band with chelle n like im proud of wat we av achieved which is producing some xcellent songs frm melodies written by chelle n i am glad liam is gettin gigs cos its wat he wants to do. i jus don't agree that he is "better" than us because he does totally different songs to us and doesnt write his own stuff apparently.
Yep chibble, if Liam wants to do gigs then he can do them. It has nothing to do with us or trying to get 'one over' on us, which is what he's probably trying to do this for :s. We don't have the same aims as you,we don't wanna get a manager we're unfamiliar with and be sent songs from other artists' writers etc... we write,produce and record all our own stuff and that's more important to us than getting someone else's. We already have a manager atm but we are waiting til we have a wide variety of recorded,perfected tracks until we will consider ourselves ready to send them off to any labels.
