The Butterfly Tattoo Gig

The Butterfly Tattoo and 3 Spirit Music (www.3spiritmusic.co.uk) are organizing a gig on the 24th August at The Purple Turtle (www.purpleturtlebar.com) in Oxford. Featured bands are Light Box, The Plug, Not My Day, Fatally Yours and Amberstate.

Bands performing that evening will be considered to be cast as the on stage band in the film. This scene will be shot at The Jericho Tavern (www.thejerichotavern.co.uk), the place where Radiohead played their first gigs.

The deal includes a contract negotiated by Ricall (www.ricall.com), the leading licensing business in the UK. Bands not selected to be used on screen in The Butterfly Tattoo will still have a good chance to get their tracks featured on the film soundtrack. Those deals will also be negotiated by Ricall on behalf of The Butterfly Tattoo.

Ricall is the leading business to business music marketplace connecting buyers and sellers of music licences directly. Ricall has signed with the BBC, SonyBMG, Domino Records, Broadcast Magazine, Notting Hill Music, Framepool and many others. Now The Butterfly Tattoo can be added to that very impressive list.

The Butterfly Tattoo is an independent feature film based on Philip Pullman’s book of the same name. Set to be shot in Oxford in August and September 2007, it will show the side of Oxford not seen in the famous Harry Potter, The Golden Compass and Inspector Morse films. Local bands are now also invited to join this innovative production!
