Commercially Inviable Records

Commercially Inviable had a blast at the 2008 Moseley Folk Festival, we hope you did too.

Thank you to everyone who bought CDs and said nice things.

Here’s a video of Friends of the Stars from their Sunday set. This is a tune from their forthcoming/soon-to-be-recorded/Yeah, whatever new album. It’s called “Foreign Muck”

Roll up, roll up…

The 2008 Moseley Folk Festival starts tomorrow in the lovely Moseley Private Park, Birmingham. The festival, now in it’s 3rd year, promises to be the best yet with performances from The Accidental, The Bees, Waterson:Carthy, The Destroyers and many more, including headline slots from Seth Lakeman and Jose Gonzales.

Commerically Inviable artists James Summerfield & Friends of the Stars are both playing sets this year. James plays the opening night tomorrow (Friday) and Friends of the Stars help kick things off Sunday with an afternoon slot. For more precise stage times see the line up info on the festival site.

To celebrate the festival we are offering both the Friends of the Stars and James Summerfield albums for a special, one-off festival price of £12 (including postage). Click here for more info and to make your purchase.

Festivalgoers can also purchase either album for £6 - or both for £10 - on the site itself across the entire weekend by visiting the Polar Bear Records stall. 

Alternatively, and if you see us any of us hanging around, why not stop for a chat and a haggle…

Enjoy the festival!

After an 11 month layoff, Friends of the Stars are back in the podcast game and we’re bringing you the newly minted episode 4 before it’s even released via the FOTS site.

This new 41 minute episode follows the same tried and tested format seen in previous episodes. Commercially Inviable Records very own Executive Producer Robson is grilled by a member of the band and asked to offer his thoughts on the world. The results are sometimes informative, often startling and absolutely peppered with industrial language. To break things up there are a few lovely tunes, this time there are songs from both Friends of the Stars and James Summefield.
