End of Year
On 18th December, our good friends up north, Smalltown America Records, along with Trans present ASIWYFA in Ulster Hall.
ASIWYFA are a perfect example of how you really can achieve anything you want in Ireland with energy, enthusiasm and positivity in the face of whatever adversity you may think is in your way. Sometimes people like to complain about Ireland and how we don’t have X, Y or Z (South and North alike) like they do in England or some other far away place. ASIWYFA headlining one of the biggest venues on the island of Ireland is proof that thinking we are disadvantaged in some way is just rubbish. I hope some people can travel up from the south to offer some support to this huge gig; I feel so lucky to be playing at this event….
…and what an amazing year it has been for The Richter Collective. As a label we feel truly lucky to work with all the bands on our roster. Our Christmas party made me realise (as if I needed to realise) how lucky we are to work with such great people and I really would like to thank all the bands for their input, support and help in making 2009 such an awesome year for the Richter Collective. It feels good to be part of the music community in Ireland and I feel lucky that we have been helped and advised by labels and people who are doing it a lot longer than us like Out A Limb and Smalltown America Records.
Now that my Doctor Phil rant is finished I feel its important to especially thank Bodytonic (Twisted Pepper Staff), Road Records, Plug’d Records, TJ Lipple, U:Mack, Leagues O’ Toole, Tower Records and every magazine and journalist for mentioning us or our bands and for making 2009 such a great year for us.
Bring on 2010!!
