Ramsbottom’s hottest night spot and home to the very best Lancashire T’apas. Rik Garner’s beautifully furbished and well stocked bar & kitchen gets a new site to follow the identity we created for him last year. The food’s tasty, the beer satisfying, the web site’s, well, a web site. But we hope it encourages some of you in the East Lancs area to get down their and try it out yourself. Mine’s a pint of the Outstanding Blonde!

Shop, shop, shop

Graeme is one of our longest standing clients. We’ve worked closely with him and the guys from Typocom to get his store in Brighouse onto the web. The flagship site — linencupboard.co.uk — has been a huge success and has become a crucial part of his retail business. Off the back of that we’re proud to lunch a new sister site specialising in bed linen for the increasingly popular 4ft (or Small Double as it’s sometimes referred to) bed. Introducing: 4ftBedLinen.co.uk

New stuff, new photo stuff

We are lucky enough to share our studio with a rather talented photographer (just don’t tell him I said that) – Tom van Schelven- and he’s just updated his site with a little help from yours truly and a bunch of great new portraits. The hirsute gentleman above is none other than Jay Taylor, the guy who gave us our first break way back in ’03 when A to M was just an attempt to get some weird and wonderful ideas on to paper and out into the unsuspecting world.

Blamb! And your illustration woes are over.

Just so you know, the guy responsible for all our exquisite bits of hand drawn illustration here at A to M is none other than partner and co-founder, Ben Lamb. Having recently just completed work on Closer to Everything: An Exhibition of High Priestesses (my favourite priestess pictured above) he’s also had the thoughtfulness to collect his best output into one convenient website. Check!

Just Another Site

Just a little mention for our friend Thaddi who’s Berlin label just celebrated its third 12″ release and another real blink-and-you’ll-miss-it one it was too. You may be able to hunt down a copy if you’re quick, otherwise you’ll just have to hang on for release four, or else pop over to the new label website to pine over missed opportunities…
