What’s New?

It has been a busy week for Big Bang Music, with 10 staff joining us in the office to get on top of the never-ending “clerical” work. Currently the team have been creating a database of over 15,000 charts/books from a list of publishers that include:

Hal Leonard, Lush Life Music, Alfred Music, Barnhouse Publications, Jamey Aebersold Jazz, Jazzlines, Walrus Music, Sierra Music, Kendor Music, Astute Music, Powerhouse Orchestrations, Heritage Jazz Works, FJH Music, Advance Publications, Boosey & Hawkes, and KJOS!

Much to our young interns dismay, they have another jam-packed week of data entry scheduled for their work timetables next week! these new publishers will be added on to the website before the end of September and will include:

William Allen Music, Cherry Lane Music (Tower Of Power), Charles Collin & Sher Music Publications.

A veritable treasure trove of the world’s finest charts!

We also have a number of other product lines that we are establishing and developing, we hope that these will also be part of the www.bigbangsheetmusic.co.uk offerings soon:

NUMBER 1 – Big Band Music Stands

A number of years ago we designed and manufactured our own special Big Band Music Stands. These are made completely of Corex/Twinplas and are “one piece” stands that come in two heights. One for seated musicians and one for standing. These were extremely popular with Hot House Music Schools who have over 100 of these in weekly use. We are currently updating this product range and sourcing a sustainable supplier! Lead time for this product is around 3 months. Please register your interest via the contact page.

NUMBER 2 – Big Bang Music Publishing

We recognise that there are a lot of extremely talented composers out there who do not have an outlet for selling their creations. Be them students or more mature musicians, we would like to create a service that allowed their music to be published and sold. There are some legal “bits & bobs” that are being sorted out by our legal team, but this should be an obtainable goal within this forthcoming academic year.

Lead time for this is expected to be around 6 months, if you would be interested in having your music published then please do get in touch!

NUMBER 3 – There are a lot of great bands out there who do not have a record label, but do sell their own CD’s and albums. We hope to open a “shop” so that they can sell their merchandise through the www.bigbangsheetmusic.co.uk website. Lead time is expected be 12 months, we will keep you posted!

Hopefully you can see that the team at Big Bang Music are dedicated to serving the music community, if we can help we will do! It may be that our “sheet music library becomes mobile and we could visit you, be it a school, a band or a festival/conference. We intend to get out there!
