istartedthefire records.

We're an independent record label releasing the best in new folk music, and are home to a family of the strongest new folk artists in the UK. Operating out of the beautiful town of Cheltenham we just simply love music and releasing records by bands that we adore. We believe that there are still people out there who would rather get their grubby mits on a limited edition pressing or the sleeve notes of their new favorite record, than a frequency retarded mp3 which is relegated to a small pocket, stored on their iPod only to be outed on a few occasions, and for that reason we help people make them. not to mention that the songs are ace!!! (for a taste of our rosters material please check out their pages.)

So, please have a look around our site and sample some of our rosters work, look at their faces and (digitally) shake their hands via myspace. If you would like to be kept up to date with anything istf please join our mailing list,or check out out blog, twitter and facebook or send us a letter to our address on the contact page and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. 

Until then enjoy a mosey around the site and we'll catch up soon. 

Thanks for stopping by.
