<div>George Bailey Band’s Debut Live EP
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name is George Bailey – for the past decade, I’ve poured my heart and soul into creating music that means something. After years of writing, performing, and connecting with audiences across the UK, I’m incredibly proud to be leading a high-energy 3-piece band born right here in Teesside. Our sound fuses electric alt-rock with soulful folk and raw, honest songwriting. It’s music that hits hard, lifts you up, and stays with you long after the show ends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our recent performance at Stockton Calling—where we drew over 200 people to a 2pm slot at the Georgian Theatre—was a breakthrough moment. Hosted by the festival curators and BBC Introducing, it left a mark on the crowd and industry professionals alike. Since then, we’ve seen growing interest from major players in the live scene, including headliners, publishers, and live session scouts.
</div>
<div>Now, we’re ready to take the next big step: recording our first live EP.
</div>
<div>We’re asking for your help to raise £2,500 to professionally record, mix, and release our debut live EP—a real and powerful representation of what we do best: connecting with people through music that moves, uplifts, and leaves a lasting impression.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters Now
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last month, we played to a packed Georgian Theatre at Stockton Calling, pulling over 200 people to a 2pm slot—a moment hosted by BBC Introducing and the festival curators themselves. The response was overwhelming. Since then, the buzz around the band has grown, and industry interest has followed from headliners, publishers, and session scouts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have momentum. What we don’t have is a label, a team, or a big budget. (Each day in the studio will cost around £300 so we’re admitting that this is out of our reach as an independent band). This is DIY to its core—and that’s why we’re turning to you.
</div>
<div>Whether you’ve just found us or been there since day one, this music is yours as much as it is ours. Your support now could be the turning point that helps us break through to the next level.

<div>Why I Do This
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Teesside is home. After studying songwriting away from the North East, I came back with a renewed purpose: to build a creative, inclusive, and thriving music scene in the place that raised me. I’ve spent the last few years encouraging young musicians, hosting live shows with up to 500 attendees, and curating events that spotlight emerging talent in the region.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This project isn’t just for us—it’s for the wider community that’s built us up, believed in us, and shown up time and time again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We Need You
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Being an independent artist means competing with major label acts without the financial backing. Most of my income goes straight back into the music—from rehearsal rooms to hiring venues. I’m not asking for charity—I’m asking for partnership. If you’ve ever felt moved at a show, connected with a lyric, or seen a little bit of yourself in our journey, this is your chance to help take it to the next level.
</div>
<div>Whether you give £5 or £50, or even just share this page—you’re a vital part of something powerful. Let’s make a record together. One that captures our truth. One that showcases Teesside. One that’s made for you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s Make Something Powerful Together
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Tees Valley is home—and always will be. It’s where I found my voice, built a band that believes in every word and every note, and learned what it means to connect through music. This EP is the next chapter, and it’s one we want to write with you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This moment feels electric. With momentum building and doors opening, the time is right to seize the opportunity. But we can’t do it alone. Supporting this campaign means helping an independent Northern band reach ears, hearts, and stages across the country and beyond.
