We had a fun time in Mid Wales doing gigs under the banner of Mid Wales Music Scene, so many bands, so many gigs! And yes, whilst having a specific promotional tool for artists in the area was fantastic and we made a great deal of friends and contacts whilst doing it (and personally I’d like to hope helped some local musicians in some way), MWMS did come across a stumbling block when it wanted to expand and spread its wings. Thus the tough decision was made to wind-up MWMS as it stood, that which had severed us so fantastically well for over 5years, and try to broaden the potential of the promotional aspect of things somewhat.
I took my own sabbatical from promoting whilst I mused which direction to take things, and after initially coming-up with a vastly optimistic business plan that will take years to create (and some serious financial clout!), the realisation hit me that I needed to start from square one, scale things back to the barebones and focus on what it was that made me fall in love with music and promoting. And this time do things right from the start.
Soul-searching ensued, and now like a phoenix rising from the ashes, LMLiveMusic will become the new conduit, still focusing its efforts on those traits that made MWMS so successful, but also being able to offer a promotional slant across borders should it wish to do so.
We're in our early workings, still hosting gigs, blogging and all the things MWMS done, but over a period of time things will expand and eventually LMLiveMusic will offer something diverse to the vastness of UK Underground Music Scene.
We pledge to be impartial and opinionated connoisseurs of music.
We pledge to offer support to up-and-coming musicians.
We pledge to remain true to raw, live, underground British music.
We pledge to be our own visionaries, crafting our own future, our own legacy and making our own unique mark.
