The story so far…
One crisp winter night, two Lincolnshire musicians found themselves in a dinky old pub, listening to an extraordinary local artist. Enthused by their desire to hear more, they found that the artist had a self-produced CD, which they immediately purchased. Seeing the popularity of this CD and the joy it brought to all, they knew there and then that there needed to be more. Thus c
ame the birth of Yellowbelly Records. Lincolnshire has always had a great variety of talented musicians, but, in this digital age, it is more difficult than ever to support local artists. This is what we are setting out to rectify; riding the resurgence of physical media to support artists across the county. Yellowbelly Records is working with local artists to give them opportunities to produce physical media and merchandise for their musical careers and aspirations, creating a catalogue of releases across a variety of artists that Lincolnshire can be proud of. To help enable artists to invest into their releases, we are putting on a variety of showcases to demonstrate the talent in Lincolnshire’s music scene. The funds raised from these events will be going straight back into helping artists fund physical releases of their music, supported by a team of dedicated physical media enthusiasts. We are also partnering with talent across Lincolnshire’s art scene, including fine artists, photographers and videographers, graphic designers and stage engineers, to bring out the best Lincolnshire has to offer.
