Ey up,
We’re Pavey Ark, an independent alternative-folk band from Hull that formed in 2016. We’ve been blessed with some amazing opportunities over the years, and we’ve just been invited to play an official showcase gig at SXSW in Texas.
Anyone that knows their music, knows that this is the big one, and it's an amazing opportunity to be out in the States representing the incredible music scene in Hull and Yorkshire.
It’s also going to be a massive undertaking to get all of us out there. As an independent band, this is huge for us – but securing funding to make it happen has been challenging, and we’re going to need some help to get there.
So we’re running this fundraiser for the next few weeks to help us make the trip – ideally without one or more of the band having to sell a kidney – and if you’ve ever listened to our music, or seen one of our shows, and thought, “They’re not half bad, actually,” we’d love it if you’re able to support us.
As a thank you, you could get your name printed on the inner sleeve of our new album, coming later this year. And for a bit more support, you’ll be in the running to win a very rare signed test pressing of said-album, a signed vinyl of the album, a t-shirt and a signed print.
We’re not normally ones for going out cap-in-hand – but if you’d like to help out in any way, large or small, it’d be hugely appreciated.
Take care,
Pavey Ark
