Ipswich Wiki

Bands/Solo Artists

Only bands/artists with original music are listed on Ipswich Music Wiki – if at least 80% of performers’ output (or live performance) is original they can be listed here. Genre is to a certain extent irrelevant, but rough pointers to music type may be found within posts.

• Victim Unknown
• Pindown
• Morning Said Daisy
• Mason
• Junk Culture

Events

Doesn’t matter what the event was; but it must have a live music element and needs to have happened in Ipswich, surrounding villages or Felixstowe.

• Urban Explosion
• Music in the Park

People

This section is for information on people who are/were part of the Ipswich music scene. We’re kinda flying a bit close to the sun by having this section, so please keep it legal and don’t say anything we might regret.

• Wolfie Retard
• Val Bint
• The man who shouts at soundchecks
• Rikki Flag
• Nigel Ball

Promoters

Putting on (or significantly contributing to) an event makes someone a promoter. It doesn’t matter if they do it well or do it badly, in fact some of the best shows are the ones when things don’t go according to plan.

• Noize Annoyz
• Luna Junkie
• Exposure Means Addiction
• ER…
• The Blank Generation Collective

Record Labels

This section is for record labels that exist or have existed in Ipswich. The record labels here do not need to have had distribution deals or chart success, they just need to have done ‘something’ – if a record label made more than five of any release then it should be listed on Ipswich Music Wiki.

Needs to be based in Ipswich, but doesn’t need to have exclusively Ipswich artists on the rosta.

• Drunk Cheerleader Records
• CornDog Records
• Backwater Records
• Antigen Records

Record Shops

• Urban Explosion
• Music in the Park

Studios and Rehearsal Spaces

For somewhere to be listed as either a studio or rehearsal space it needs to be a facility available for booking by members of the public.

Venues

Doesn’t matter if the venue is a pub, theatre, field or car park. If live music happened there then it’s a venue.

Zines

A zine is a self-published magazine. More professionally produced magazines are acceptable for this section as long as they are/were focussed on music.

Misc

Everything that isn’t something else or doesn’t neatly fit in one of the other categories.
