Music Supported Here: April Maybe May
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 30 April 2010
CMU Daily is currently celebrating the previously reported Music Supported Here campaign, and profiling some of the artists who have backed the initiative.
At the heart of the MSH project is a gallery of ‘music’ logos that incorporate the copyright ‘C’ which have been drawn by each participating artist. We will be featuring a different music logo in the CMU Daily each day, and will invite the artist who created it to introduce themselves and explain why they are supporting the campaign. Along the way we’ll meet some brand new artists, some more established grass roots acts and some pop superstars.
Today’s logo was created by Cumbria based duo April Maybe May. Before they tell us why they’re supporting MSH, here’s their artist blurb: “April Maybe May is Rosie Hillman and Matt Kassell. They make their music independently, from recording at home, designing their own CD artwork, and releasing it through their own label Seahouse Records. They live in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, and love to travel around the UK playing their melodic acoustic tunes to listening crowds. Their debut album is released nationally on 24 May”.
And here’s why they are supporting MSH: “I support the MSH campaign because it is vital that there is a fair system of supporting the artist so that they can continue to produce music. Personally, all I want is to be able to make the next record, and in financially changing times, this is a real and not unreasonable request. I can’t imagine a life without music, can you?”.
Look out for another ‘music logo’ and MSH supporting band tomorrow.
