Calling Unsigned Singer Songwriters

-
Roullier White has always championed the work of talented, singer songwriters; our small selection of CDs was the most sought after in the area, receiving rave reviews from music critics on the Guardian, Time Out and many other publications; becoming a destination for those with an interest in the more obscure.
With the advent of downloading it was no longer viable to sell CDs of this nature.

If you are an unsigned artist, performing your own, unpublished work we would like to hear from you. If you material is of a mellow nature, conducive to that of a relaxed shopping environment we will happily play your work.

If you have produced your own CD we will also retail your material on your behalf. We produce a weekly playlist of the tracks we are playing, to which you will be added.

We would particularly like to hear from you if you are local.

Please email Alexander Rathbone

Remember you must be unsigned and performing your own unpublished material, otherwise this is a breach of copyright.

The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui...

The following feature by Lawrence Roullier White appears in the September issue of Absolutely Magazine. Brent Leonesio of Smell Bent will be in store on Thursday 25th September - come and say 'hello'.  Traditionally perfumery has always been a difficult skill to learn, expertise and knowledge was handed down through the family so it was very much a closed shop. Budding perfumers could seek entry level work at one of the great fragrances houses and hope to learn the ropes on the job or train as apprentices with a master artisan perfumer but opportunities were few. Things opened up a little when the Givaudan Perfumery School in France opened in 1946. The school claims to be responsible for training the noses behind one third of fragrances on sale today, including Chanel’s Jean Polge and Hermes’ Jean-Claude Ellena, mastermind behind my beloved Cologne Bigarade for Editions Frederic Malle. Another school, The Institut Supérieur International du Parfum, was founded in 1970 ...
