Survival in the Independent Music Scene is not easy. Iron Man Records has had to cultivate a variety of survival skills in the challenging landscape of independent music. Changing habits post-COVID, the cost of living crisis, Brexit, the cost of touring, fuel prices, and the impact of streaming services have significantly affected the environment in which musicians operate. In an era where listeners are bombarded with music choices, pursuing a career in music has become unsustainable for many. Simply earning enough to cover basic operating expenses feels like a mad dream for most artists. “Get in on the hustle or be a bum” - Charles Bukowski I would like to extend…

Iron Man Records will be at Moseley Record Fair on Sunday 3rd December 2023
People go to record fairs for a variety of reasons. Some go to buy and sell rare or hard-to-find Vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and other music-related items. Others go to discover new music, explore different genres or eras of music, or to meet friends or network with other music enthusiasts. I like the social aspect of going to a record fair, browsing through collections, listening to music, and meeting like-minded individuals who also share an unhinged passion for music. Iron Man Records will be at Moseley Record Fair on Sunday 3rd December 2023. MOSELEY ALL SERVICES CLUB, 91 Church Road, Moseley, BIRMINGHAM, B13 9EA. 12pm–4pm. FREE ADMISSION!

Earning enough to just cover basic costs has become almost a dream. I would like to invite you to become an Iron Man Records Patron. Musicians need a number of different…

“I am not what is called a civilized man, Professor. I have done with society for reasons that seem good to me. Therefore, I do not obey its laws.” — 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Jules Verne “. . . there are periods of history when the visions of madmen and dope fiends are a better guide to reality than the common-sense interpretation of data available to the so-called normal mind.
