Pale Fire Music & Left for Dead - Our Story
Discover the passion and dedication behind Pale Fire Music. Learn about our journey from a community music project to a thriving platform for original live music, driven by a love for artists and our local community.
How we started
Pale Fire Music and Left for Dead began as a Not-for-Profit Community Music Project in 2018. We created a monthly live music night in local authority premises The Wakes to provide an outlet for local musicians with original songs.
Since 2022, we have expanded our offer, hosting performances at the 200-capacity grass roots venue the Firefly club in Oakengates, Telford.
We continue to pursue our commitment to live, original music. We bring touring artists from the UK and overseas to the Firefly while continuing to feature local musicians.
The dedicated team behind the music
Pale Fire Music thrives because of our passionate volunteers. We grew up in the 1970s and 80s, immersed in live music, and even performed in various bands, supporting iconic artists of the time like Eddie and the Hot Rods, Boomtown Rats, Killjoys and Angelic Upstarts during the punk and post-punk eras. This shared history fuels our commitment to fostering today's music scene.
Our passion for live music
Our main reason for doing what we do is simple: to to bring original music to Telford.
We engage with both UK and overseas artists, and crucially we provide a vital stage for local artists, giving them a valuable opportunity to support established touring acts, helping them gain exposure and experience in the vibrant world of live music.
What makes us unique
What truly sets Pale Fire Music and Left for Dead apart is our unwavering commitment to being a completely volunteer-run not-for-profit organisation.
All proceeds generated from our promotions are reinvested directly back into the project. This ensures that every artist receives a fair deal for their performances, reflecting our dedication to ethical standards and supportive music promotion.
