About it all:
This Indiegogo campaign is about raising the funds to help Elfin Bow record her debut album. The entire process will be expensive and require help from a variety of people that includes anyone from a recording engineer to producer.
By contributing to this campaign you will not only help me achieve a great album but hopefully a name that will be recognized in the music community.
What We Need & What You Get:
- This full length 13 track album will require £5,000. The money will be distributed to the recording studio, producer, engineer, studio musicians and cd duplication company.
- For the amount you contribute, based on your donation, you will receive anything from hand-illustrated lyric sheets to a song written just for you.
- If we somehow don't reach our goal, the funds will be used for the recording and people whom have helped in the production of the album.
The Impact:
- I truly believe in this project and how it will affect other people's lives. You are joining in my journey to 'follow the music', combining my twin passions of art and music and to share my creativity with the world. Whether that is in the tales about the social outcasts I encountered as a child or singing about love and renewed hope in difficult times. My narrative for imagination is also yours.
- Some achievements I've accomplished in the last few years of my life include performing with my husband, Gary Edward Jones, working closely to record and make his self-produced debut album, running the Bow's Folk concert series, appearing on BBC Radio Merseyside, Wirral Radio and other local internet stations. I have supported Bronwynne Brent, The Sam Kelly Trio, Harp and a Monkey and Tom Kitching. I hope to make this campaign another successful chapter that I can share with other people.
- Throughout this campaign I hope to make real connections with people, most of whom I've never meet before, so that I can bring value and meaning to their lives in terms of new music. I want to build a community with people and gain their trust as an artist.

Going The Extra Mile:
For this campaign I wanted to go above and beyond the typical Indiegogo campaign in terms of what I put into it in order to get the most out the campaign.
- I wanted to overcome the many hurdles of a typical Indiegogo campaign by offering a unique array of creative perks that will be exchanged for donations that clearly demonstrate how my art and music are inextricably entwined. I want people to believe that the kind of quality and creativity they see in these offerings is the kind of quality and creativity they will see in the album.
- I also plan to pair this campaign with the release of a music video for my song 'The Wisdom', filmed at Lowther Castle and Gardens in the Lake District. Again, I hope that this will give a taste of what is to come on the album as well as creating as much of an impression or buzz from the music video in order to keep a constant momentum throughout the whole campaign.
- I've already put a great deal of time into the production of the music video and campaign. But I believe going the extra mile will help me achieve my goal.

Fear nothing, follow the music and love to all,
