The Leaf Label: NEWS ARCHIVE FOR SEPTEMBER 2021

Bandcamp Friday - in support of Refugee Action & British Refugee Council
Published 3 September 2021 by TM

As you may be aware, today is Bandcamp Friday, when the good people of Bandcamp waive their fees for 24 hours in support of artists and labels. I’m sure you’re also very much aware of the awful situation that has developed in Afghanistan in recent weeks, and the difficulties that many Afghans are facing in their own country and as refugees. We have decided to donate ALL label proceeds for physical and digital sales from Bandcamp today to the British Refugee Council and Refugee Action, to offer a welcome to those that have been able to get into the UK, and to help those that are still trying.

Personally, I’ve been angered by the messaging coming from the UK government on the subject of refugees (notably the incoming Nationality and Borders Bill which will criminalise those who seek to help refugees and asylum seekers entering the UK). I feel strongly that this country should be - and be seen to be - welcoming to people in dire need of our help, and even more so when it's as a direct result of our foreign policy. Both of these organisations directly support refugees, and campaign for their rights.

Many of our artists have also agreed to donate their share of proceeds to these charities today. Please support if you're able to.

As an additional incentive, we are offering a 10% discount across almost all of the Leaf catalogue for the day. Use the code bf10 at checkout.

Murcof announces headline show at London's EartH Theatre
Published 30 September 2021 by DM

Murcof will play his first solo headline show in the UK in ten years, at EartH in Hackney on March 2nd 2022. It will be one of the first opportunities to see material from this year’s epic double album, The Alias Sessions, performed live, and will feature projections from Spanish visual artist Sergi Palau. The visuals will include footage from the performances by Geneva-based dance company Alias, which served as the genesis for the album.

The Alias Sessions is the most ambitious and wide-ranging Murcof album to date - less about the individual components of a track and more about the cumulative force of the set as a whole. It promises to be a powerful, immersive live experience.

Tickets are on-sale now via Dice FM.
