What is Big Note?
Big Note is a platform, set up to showcase
dynamic and contemporary songwriting talent.
It was started by Marc Johnson, in London 1997, to give songwriters
the opportunity to get their songs heard and to give people
who want to hear new songs the opportunity to hear them.
In a way it was a reaction against the corporate
music industry's "machine obsession" of product
and about getting back to the point of why music is exciting,
inspirational and - dare we say it - fun!!!
Above all its about great new songwriting
and giving those artists a platform on which to shine.
Big Note Promoting New Talent.
Not only are we promoting artists here, on
this very website - check out
