Jelli Records

Steve Parkhouse (Director)

Director Steve is a well-known figure on the Bristol Music Scene, having been music chief at Bristol's beloved Folk House and is now venue concert manager at the equally inspiring St George's, one of the UK's leading concert halls.

Around his day job, he has always helped local musicians, promoted gigs, run stages at festivals, DJ'ed his own radio shows, but until 2008, he hadn't ever had a single 'banner' under which to unite his extra-curricular musical activities.

Jelli Records was the answer (if the question was, 'what did Steve do about this?').

Chris Pritchett (Director)

A lawyer in the daytime and a husband and father the rest of the time, Chris also squeezes in the odd bit of music.

A long-time acoustic musician with a Bristol CV covering Amber (an early duo with the marvellous Jane Taylor), indie-rock band Minerva and recently, current acoustic favourites Jacanda.

Chris met Steve in 2000, and they've probably discussed record labels and management on and off since then.

Jelli

Jelli Records is not a traditional record company. We do have signed artists, and we have financed CDs, EPs and singles, but Jelli goes further than that, offering the following:

• Artist management and consultancy
• Concert promotions
• Radio and multimedia programming (Jelli Radio coming soon!) 
• Festival stage programming and management

Jelli Records was a one half of the proud partnership that relaunched the Bristol Folk Festival (www.bristolfolkfestival.com) following a 32 year absence.

At the heart of the music scene in Bristol, Jelli is proud to be associated with:

• The Bristol Harbour Festival (as headline sponsors... we may have mentioned it... and long time programmers and managers of the splendid Cascade Steps Stage)

Demo Policy

Jelli is always interested to hear from artists in the South West who are primarily acoustic, folk, roots or jazz-based, though we've got pretty open minds.

Before sending any demos or MP3s, we would prefer it if you emailed and described your act and your aspirations. Feel free to tell us about links to song samples, YouTube clips and so on.

Whilst we are quite limited in the acts we look to sign to management or recording deals, there are many other ways we can help, be it inclusion on radio broadcasts or podcasts, programming at gigs and festivals and so on.
