Adventures of… SANDS FUNDRAISING FOR DEX’S MIDNIGHT MUDDERS

          

A d v     …

Hi everyone,

It’s your favourite rappers and spoken word guys here. 

We’ve decided to re-release our demo DOOR, and all the money it makes will be donated to the Stillbirth & neonatal death charity via DEX’S MIDNIGHT MUDDERS. Dex’s Midnight Mudders are doing something absolutely incredible in support of such a supportive and important charity. 

Every little helps. So far they’ve raised over £2,000, which is tons but they are headed for £5,000.

DOOR is £3, and it’s rough, ready and weird. It gave us exactly what we needed it to give in 2008: an entrance into a strange world of being rappers in a coastal town. 

So please head over to the Preciptoman Records bandcamp page, buy a copy and then tell your friends to do the same. 

Please also visit Dex’s Midnight Runners fundraising page HERE to donate directly and skip the music. 

Thanks everyone and have a great weekend,

Way back in 2011 I started a project called Freestyle A Day, it was a mix questionable freestyles and lucky one liners. But here’s one where it kinda went well. Hope you dig it or just laugh at it.

Hope you enjoy. Peace, and I mean it. The worlds getting madder.

Recently I decided to take as much control of my digital world and presence as possible. With things like WIX offering a free website at the cost of it being plastered with adverts and content the user doesn’t actually own it raised big questions of ownership. 

I’m an indie artist running an indie label so the idea of ownership is huge and important.

I figured that what I wanted must be pretty simple, but I hadn’t used html since myspace, so I was a little scared. 

I also needed to refresh the front face of my record label Preciptoman Records.

So, I got to work and with some really valuable help from estherainsworth.com I built bernardjames.co.uk using 100% open source software and learnt a damn lot in the process.

The other side of this post is that if you’re an artist, musician poet or emcee and would like to get involved with Preciptoman Records get in touch, we’d love to hear from you, we’re small but can offer support with writing, production and gigging.

So:

• bernardjames.co.uk
• preciptoman.co.uk

That’s all! See you soon perhaps!

Hi,

My sister and her family are going through a really awful time recently, I’m not going to say much about it because you can read all about it HERE (please do) and my words really don’t mean much, but in October 2012 they lost their baby.

The UK charity SANDS are giving my sister and her family a great support network of compassionate  and understanding help, this is really invaluable. SANDS are also working hard to reduce the chances of anyone having to go through what my sister and her family are going through.  

To raise money for SANDS and to ensure that SANDS continues to develop and continues to give support to the people who need it my sister and her friends are taking part in a nuts marathon called Tougher Mudder, it’s like Iron Man on crack and caked in mud.

Please support them and give anything you can, it’s a wonderful charity and they’re wonderful people.

Sponsor them HERE

Yo! To mark the anniversary of my debut album, the record is now available on Spotify AND itunes. Crazy. It’d be really great if you could check it and and give it some hits, that really helps us little guys get a little more notice, otherwise the Top Guns get all the ratings and streaming.

Anyhoot, here are the links! Enjoy! xx

A year ago today I released to the wild a video shot and directed by my great friend Zoe Fox - she’s actually in the video se keep your eyes peeled! The video is for my song ‘Hearts get Broken’ and promoting the release of my debut album Ships Will Pass in the Night.

I’m dead proud of it, so here it is for everyone to see:
