Album recording!

After a highly enjoyable gig at the EFG London Jazz Festival last month, we're excited to be just over a week away from finally recording the album! We're busy planning lots of things for next year for the launch, too - more details soon.

In the meantime, we received a couple of lovely reviews of the LJF gig - take a look if you couldn't make the gig:

OCTOBER UPDATE


We thought we'd drop you all a quick line to give you an update on our project's progress. We've now selected and booked the studio for late December so we should be looking at an album release date of mid/late 2015 which is very exciting!


Before the recording we have two gigs lined up that we would like to draw your attention to. The first of these is on Friday 31st October at Heath Street Church in Hampstead, London. Tickets are £10 in advance and there is an early bird offer of £7 if booked before the 24th October. If you selected concert tickets as your reward, please let us know if you would like to redeem that here. More info below:

Our other gig is on Wednesday 19th November as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival. This is a free event at 6pm in the Southbank Centre Foyer. Full details available at the link below:

It would be great to see you at one (or both!) of these gigs and please introduce yourselves so that we can thank you in person.


Thanks again for your support,

Final push!

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far - we've been completely blown away by the generosity and support we've received over the last few weeks!

As we head into the final two days of the campaign we're delighted to announce that we've already soared past our minimum target. The money we've raised allows us to get the recording studio booked and the recordings mixed and mastered, but we still need your help. 

Our big target of £3200 will give us the opportunity to publish the CDs and promote the album - an equally important bit!

We have around £900 left to raise and we're asking everyone who can to help us in these closing stages. Whatever you can donate or whoever you can spread the word to, it would be great if you can help us in this final push!

The link to share is http://crowdfund.stoopquintet.co.uk and our Twitter handle is @stoopquintet.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported us - we can't wait to start getting to work on the recording!
