WELCOME TO MUSIC YORKSHIRE
the website of award-winning social enterprise Timeless Music Project.
An independent musician-led project promoting the Yorkshire music industry at international events 2006 to 2011. Identifying a painful lack of real support for the sector, Huddersfield based Social Enterprise Timeless Music Project fought hard to secure many important opportunities including the first ever "all Yorkshire" showcases at at SXSW Music Conference, USA even becoming a key partner in the British Music Partnership.
Organised by local singer Pat Fulgoni, the project assisted a large number of artists and labels from the region many of whom have gone on to achieving big things. With no core funding and not being a RFO (regularly funded organisation) meant that TMP had to partner with different groups, funders and organisations every year so it was quite miraculous this project kept going however the results were pretty impressive. See feedback page. It is hoped that this initiative will one day be built on to further support Yorkshire’s talented music industry sector. If not, why not? The sector certainly deserves it.
For more information click the "about us" and "feedback" sections above.
We still believe in the value of music and that local musicians and the music industry deserve better.
There is so much good music in Yorkshire 2016.
If you would like to sponsor this initiative please don't hesitate to contact us.
Thanks,
Timeless Music Project

STATEMENT RE YORKSHIRE AT SXSW
Just to clarify this year we cannot provide a Yorkshire Showcase, CD or further SXSW support. Its been a pleasure delivering showcases for the region's talented music industry over in the USA in 2009, 2010, 2011 and we've had 6 years of Yorkshire CDs out there but despite some great outcomes (see "feedback" section) and trying our very best, for this year we have suddenly been knocked back on our arts funding applications and we have been unable to secure the necessary regional partnerships / support for our project. This means we do not have the necessary funds we need to buy into the British Music Embassy venue etc. So its a year off I'm afraid! That said, our third SXSW briefing (for the British Music Partnership) was once more rammed with 200 delegates at Hifi Club Leeds. We have been told this is 4 times as many delegates as any other UK regions taking part. It clearly illustrates the demand and its great to see so many Yorkshire acts and music businesses going out to SXSW 2012. Its a bumper year.
If you are heading out this year make sure you check out these Yorkshire acts showcasing all over SXSW: KAISER CHIEFS, TODDLA T, ASKING ALEXANDRIA, THE CHEVIN, THE VIOLET MAY, PAUL WOOLFORD, SCARS ON 45, THE WEDDING PRESENT, THE DUNWELLS + also BENJAMIN FRANCIS LEFTWICH, SLOW CLUB and SPECTRALS who we featured on previous Cds / showcases
We should claim ED SHEERAN too as he's originally from Halifax and we've also just learnt that two local singer songwriters Jasmine Kennedy and Emily Sargent are now off to Texas too!
On a regional tip we understand there is a new Northern England showcase featuring bands like Therapy?, DRUGS, All the Young and Ghosting Season but we are not involved with that and don't have a full listing yet - keep an eye on www.sxsw.com
If you are heading out this year, wishing y'all the very best. Hope to see you on Sixth Street. Lots of love, Timeless Music Project, Yorkshire, UK
DEADLINE FOR SXSW SHOWCASE APPLICATIONS IS NOVEMBER 4TH!

24/03/09 Lordy 20 hours later and back in Yorkshire
Huge relief. We can safely say that Yorkshire made an impact at SXSW 2009!
22/03/09 Wow! Get in!
Yesterday was ace. The venue was capacity throughout, and continued through to Liverpool Sound City's slot. At times "one in - one out" People even loved the mini Yorkshire Puddings! The bands all played very well (well done you). Big up Talk To Angels, Paul Marshall, Rolo Tomassi, Sky Larkin, Wild Beasts ... you did us proud. Hope you get the interest you deserve. Thousands of Yorkshire Cds were snapped up too at the gig and from the stand in the Conference Hall Check out:
A few photos from the FIRST EVER Yorkshire Showcase at SXSW.
20/03/09 Getting psyched! The gig is tomorrow. Doors 11.30 am!!
The promo for our gig is out there. Seen the adverts now, got rid of most of the flyers and handed out a tonne of CDs ... As usual there is a serious amount of competition here. 100s of gigs on all at the same time! Fingers crossed.
We've already made it to excellent sets from Yorkshire acts Slow Club, Ralph Lawson's 2020 Soundsystem, Stoney and Little Boots. Yes Little Boots. Come on, play fair ... we claim her! She's from Leeds dammit.
06/03/09 Greetings from pudding land!
Pretty stoked that SXSW is nearly upon us...
A bit of background info if you’ve never heard of it. SXSW is one of the largest music festivals in the United States, with more than 1,400 performers from around the world playing on over eighty stages in downtown Austin, Texas over four days in March. By day, conference registrants do business in the SXSW Trade Show in the Austin Convention Center and partake of a full agenda of informative, provocative panel discussions featuring hundreds of speakers of international stature.
Running about trying to find Yorkshire pudding recipes that Americans might understand and tekkin tha whippet out for a few last walks down t’ginnel before crossing ova tha pond.
Not just bands there’s a few Yorkshire music, film and interactive types going over too so check out www.y2tx.com
