The Note That Really Is Worthy

Again this week has been true to form, tremendously active and has brought life to Leicester’s newest addition to a local musician’s promotional toolkit 'The Note Worthy Project'.

Yes yes yes I know that sounds nothing like Ear forever, Right Ear Right Now, Easy Listener, or the many other idea’s I had previously had and posted in my blog, but that was the trail of thought I was walking at the time.


New title The Note Worthy Project how did it come to life?

Well the name actually came from a work colleague (David), I had explained my idea to him for part of a logo using a musical note and the names I had come up with around that, things such as; Personal Note - Note Perfect – Ear My Notes – The Local Note – Note Listening –
Leicester Note – My Note To You.
David then said ‘what about note worthy, that’s a recognised phrase’ the more I started to look and analyze it the more it seemed to be perfect, and so Note Worthy was named and branded, time for a logo.


One part of the logo I had in mind, the bit I really had my mind set on was a musical note (quaver). That image would then be altered to hold a collage of other images inside the note, these images were going to be all local bands, groups, fans, gigs etc.

I was keen to use the image of a quaver because of its multi cultural and multi lingual capabilities, by this I mean any person male or female of any age of any country would be able to associate the image with music and for that image to be filled with the music fruits of Leicester was intended to be personalised to the city.

My intensions for the retro wallpaper background is to show the contrast between new, old and current, I also like the symmetry and striking bold colours you consistently get in retro designs.

So where will I hear The Note Worthy Project?

As this is still a relatively new idea I am trilling the project in only a hand full of venues for market research. Once I have collected data and feedback from the select locations the project will be reworked and the creases ironed out.

The venues will include O-Bar, Hub Bar and Sophbeck (this one is still to be finalised). I have also set the wheels in motion with Leicester's newest public attraction the Highcross Shopping Centre, by this I mean I have taken steps to find the individual who I will need to set up a meeting with to discuss the matter further.

When will the project be launched?

Working with bands will never be the easiest of tasks on my agenda so my initial outlook of four weeks may be stretched to five and a half weeks.

The music has and still is being collected, the tag-lines are well non existent at the minute and it looks like I will have to temporally record them myself, so the grand finale for the project is to compile the tracks on the first ever Note Worthy CD.

This is where my sound man Nick Rose and his very new company Raindrop Records comes in, we will sit-down and work the music and tag-lines in to a compilation fit for distribution to the select venues.

Have fun and enjoy
