Jeanie Finlay
"I'm obsessed with records and songs as signposts that tell the story of our life. All of the songs I have chosen articulate emotions, feelings and memories I could never put into words quite so eloquently. Records hold memories."

Her work includes SOUND IT OUT (75 mins) a documentary portrait of the the very last vinyl record shop in Teesside,feature documentary Goth Cruise (IFC, USA) and Teenland (BBC4).

Anders
I am one of the three men who in 2008 after a chat over a pint and a potentially misguided New Year’s Resolution set up Hello Thor Records. Our love of all things vinyl and DIY have taken us from those humble beginnings to the release of 3 EPs and 4 7”s, plus a lot of parties and at least one art exhibition above a cave. Our current roster is Fists, We Show Up On Radar and Anxieteam (featuring fellow TMW patron Jon Burgerman) and we love them dearly

Paul Klotschkow
We are pleased to have Paul as a patron, he has been incredibly supportive of us from the very beginning.
“I've been a contributor to LeftLion for over six years and was honoured to be asked to be their Music Editor at the back end of 2008. Other than that, first gig I ever went to was Whitesnake supported by Three Colours Red at the Royal Concert Hall in 1997 and it was amazing. In the fourteen years since I've been to hundreds and gigs and seen countless bands” (Not all of those cans in that photograph are mine)

Graeme Park
We are proud to have legendary Dj Graeme Park as a patron who has played at Danny Derby’s Koolcat nights several times now. Graeme found himself working in a Nottingham record shop called Select-A-Disc in the early 1980s, when the very first house records began to filter through from Chicago, Detroit and New York. When the shop's owner also opened a nightclub, it was only natural he should turn to Graeme to select the discs which soon brought him to the attention of Mike Pickering at the Hacienda in Manchester. Parky quickly became one of the biggest names on the emerging dance scene. Aside from his eight-year residency at the Hac, he was the first British DJ to play places like Australia, South America, the USA, Asia and beyond as well as producing and remixing tracks for the dancefloor.
