HISTORY:
On the 23rd of November 2004 a musical experiment was devised in a small British town called Kidderminster. Three musicians Neutron Tears (aka Matt Tarbuck), King Rich and Nick J.Townsend teamed up to set up an 'open-mike' event LIKE NO OTHER.

Using mobile recording equipment supplied by Neutron Tears and a small 300+ venue called Redwoods (hired out by Nick J.Townsend and King Rich), the three musicians advertised a monthly open-mike night where musicians could turn up and play three songs live, the songs were recorded, mixed and then packaged into a CD format to be onsale the following month at the venue.

The musicians that played got FREE live recordings, all they had to do was turn up the following month to collect them, the best of their three tracks were put onto a CD, extra CD's were sold on the night to the general public, the CD's sold paid for the costs (broke even) and the audience attending the night heard and saw something amazing every month. On average about 10-12 artists were recorded each month.

7 of these monthly events were organised. It created a total of 6 CD's, each becoming more and more impressive. The events attracted all sorts of musicians, each knowing that the better they played - the better their recordings would come out. This gave a platform for many musicians to hear their work recorded.
