Ask Us Anything…Within Reason

We’ve set up a new page using the lovely technology of Soundcloud. Just hit the big red button and ask us anything you want. For example: What’s Tiny Cinema’s day job? How did Chris from BOI get the nickname Danger?  Does Katerwaul’s drummer Nick really just speak in quotes from the office? And of course any serious questions you might have about the label or any of our artists.

Only one rule…NEVER ask about Tewkesbury Food Festival. Got that? Good. Click here or on the image below and ask away.
