Although we’ve had a facebook group for a while, it seems that all the cool kids nowadays have their own facebook fan pages – so I’ve joined the bandwagon and set one up for us! Don’t join the group that I’ve helpfully linked to above, as that won’t be updated anymore… Using a combination of Artistdata and other amazing trickery, everything should now sync to the facebook fan page which you can find at www.facebook.com/beatsnpiecesbigband so become a fan now!
Remember if you want to be kept bang up to date with everything, you should join the mailing list – the next issue will be sent out very soon so make sure you’re signed up so you don’t miss out on some very exciting news I’ve got for you! And I’m also on twitter if you’d like to REALLY stay in the loop…

Check out the March issue of Jazzwise (with Curios on the cover), where the Beats & Pieces EP is listed in Mike Chadwick’s Cutting Edge Chart on page 12… How exciting!
Remember you can still get your very own copy of the EP via Efpi Records but hurry as the limited edition handmade CDs are fast running out…

I was really excited to discover that ‘bake’ was played on Mike Chadwick’s Cutting Edge show on Jazz FM last Sunday (7th Feb) – if you’re reading, cheers Mike! We were described as “a group of young lads from Manchester making an incredible, incredible noise” which I think was meant in a good way…
You can view the show’s playlist here and listen again here, available (I think) until the next Cutting Edge show on Sunday 14th Feb.

Following on from my descent into twitter (if you’re not following me already please do, I don’t really have many so far…) I’ve been keeping up with the 21st century by trying to get a decent mailing list system working and think I’ve finally cracked it! Sign up now for a periodic e-mail (not too often, promise!) about what we’ve been up to and what we will be up to in the near future. And if you do run into any problems with the form or anything else then let me know – one issue that I’ve found so far is that sometimes the confirmation e-mails get sorted into your junk folder, so maybe check there if it doesn’t arrive and add beatsnpieces.net to your list of allowed domains so it doesn’t happen again!
I’ll be sending the first mailing out in about a week so sign up now to make sure you don’t miss out…

We’ve been featured on the latest episode of the GetJazzical podcast, a series focusing on the very best contemporary classical and jazz music – check out their site here. They said about ‘bake’: “Straight from a 1950’s crime caper, seriously enjoyable bit of funky jazz. Love it.” Cheers guys!
We’re on from about 20.40 but check out the rest of the episode too, there’s some great music in there.

I decided resistance is futile and its about time that I started tweeting things… Obviously I have nobody to tweet to at the moment though, so follow me @beatsnpieces and I’ll try to make it vaguely interesting for you!
