Friends,
As we approach the end of 2021, another strange year to say the very least, we're just checking in to say a big THANK YOU for all your support.
It was wonderful to get back to live shows, and we had some fantastic (and sold out) events, including Nick Ellis' concert at Leaf on Bold St, and Blick Bassy - an Africa Oyé collaboration - at the Philharmonic Hall Music Room. And, another great collaboration at District, with the Livepool Irish Festival & Cork's Unemployable Promotions.
Mellowtone Records was also back in action, with a new release from Seafoam Green, the digital release of Ragz Nordset's 'Little Stings' EP, and Nick Ellis' TransPenine Express Tour.
Thanks to Kev and all at the Handyman for hosting the 'Mellowtone 15' exhibiton, after 2020's postponement. If you missed it, fear not, the collection will be popping up again in 2022, and we have a few of the prints still available online. And, if you're in the mood for Christmas shopping, we have a selection of records, CDs and prints available HERE.
Once again, we bring a dash of festive cheer from one of our longstanding resident DJs - Jonnie O'Hare. Two hours of Christmas inspired funk, hiphop & reggae... it's quite the yuletide journey!
TUNE IN HERE
We'll be back soon with details of a few incoming and intimate shows... getting back to our roots in early 2022.
In the meantime, please read on ...
Love x
