Hi David
I was just wondering if it'd be possible to get any work experience with you, or if you could put me on to anyone who I could do some work with? I'm really keen on getting a load of experience and building up a portfolio, and would love to do some more work like the stuff with Mano
Anything you could arrange would be really appreciated, thanks a lot,
Jonathan
Hiya Jonathon - good to hear from you - the shots of Mano are great, though I'm from Greater Manchester myself, the label and me are based in South West Scotland... Our next release will be from a trio of teenagers from Dumfries called Sticks And Stones... I'll see if we can sort something out as i'd love to use more of your work... Distilled Records is owned by Steve Dowling and we are very much hand to mouth - we rely on Steve's business selling stoves (Dowling Stoves) to fund the musical projects that we take on - the label makes no money at all - though, i of course, hope it will one day...
We have another Mancunian on the label called Spider Mike King (worth looking up he has quite a history) and he's gigging in Stockport at the end of this month and then he's doing a special Martin Hannett concert in Manchester in April that i think might be worth a trip for you if your interested? a lot of underground old skool Manc music types on the bill - details for both can be found here http://distilledrecords.com/live-dates/ Mano i see has a gig in Manchester for March also...
We also have a group in Hebden Bridge called Pepperjam that i would love a decent press shot off if only they could keep the line up the same for long enough... i could drop them a line if you like...?
Hope some of that is of help - let me know if any of the above might be workable for you and i'll see what i can sort
cheers
