NO POETRY MUSIC

🥀

Founded in 2016 by Hereford local, Stephen Goode, No Poetry Music was born from a shared frustration among a group of Herefordshire and Worcestershire musicians and music enthusiasts. They felt that the local music scene was dominated by generic cover bands, leaving little space for original, alternative music to flourish. Stephen and his friends shared a vision to create a supportive and engaging environment where alternative artists and music lovers could come together, and so they launched their first event at The Booth Hall in Hereford on November 1st under the name of No Poetry Promotions.

What began as a not-for-profit hobby project gained momentum quickly, and the group went on to host a multitude of stand-alone alternative events, regular open-mic nights, a stage at Worcester Music Festival in 2017, and even a two-day festival at Hereford Skatepark to raise money for prostate cancer research. No Poetry Promotions established itself as a respected name in the local music scene, building a platform to showcase the best of the region’s musical talent and to bring new and exciting up-and-coming alternative artists to the area.

In 2019, No Poetry Promotions underwent a rebrand, emerging as No Poetry Music, reflecting the brand’s expanded vision and commitment to supporting alternative artists, not just locally but also beyond. No Poetry Music continued to build on the success of its predecessor by expanding into artist development, music industry consultancy, and tour booking.

Today, No Poetry Music is more than just a promoter – it’s a hub for alternative music culture, a place where artists and music lovers can connect and find support in their shared passion for music.

 

No Poetry Music Hide Your Eyes

Since its inception, No Poetry Music has had a clear mission – to support and champion alternative artists across a broad range of genres. From punk rock to indie, metal to experimental, No Poetry Music has worked tirelessly to promote and elevate the voices of artists who might otherwise be overlooked by mainstream music channels.

But No Poetry Music isn’t just about putting on great shows and bringing together like-minded music fans. At its core, the brand is committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for those who identify with alternative subcultures. In a world that can be hostile to those who don’t fit into the mainstream mold, No Poetry Music strives to create an environment where people can be themselves, free from judgment or prejudice.
