Liner Notes

Local Flavour 2003

Over the past year our man behind the music, Crispin Giles, has been ripping performances to CD at many of our best shows. The resulting recordings find the balance between the raw, in your face power of the live show and the sonic clarity that is our trademark.

We have selected thirteen tunes from these sessions to include in this new compilation CD to commemorate our 15th anniversary.

Don’t rush out to buy this CD, because it is not for sale. There are two ways that you can get your ears around Local Flavour 2003:

1. Buy advance tickets to a show for any of the artists on the compilation.
2. Listen at one of the links below.

Any way you look at it, the music is free. A gift to you from C’est What and thirteen great indie acts.
