Headquartered at The Jacaranda, the 1958 venue credited with launching The Beatles on their early careers,[2] the label also operates live music venues and record stores[3] across the city.[4]

History

Founded by former UMG Executive Vice President Ray Mia,[5] in November 2018 the label announced plans to build a vinyl production press[6] and recording studio[7] in Liverpool, with construction of the company's first immersive audio facility beginning three months later.[8]

In the summer of 2019, the label signed Spilt (band) and SHARDS on 10 year contracts.[9][10] The label signed Aimée Steven at the end of that year.[11]

Venues & Record Stores

Jacaranda Records operates two live music venues and vinyl record stores in Liverpool, and was shortlisted for Music Week's Independent Retailer of The Year award in 2020.[12]

The Jacaranda (21-23 Slater Street, Liverpool L1 4BW)

Originally opened by Allan Williams in 1958, The Jacaranda provided both rehearsal space and a stage for John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison & Stuart Sutcliffe to perform for the first time as The Silver Beetles. Re-furbished in 2014,[13] the 60-year-old music hub still contains murals painted by Sutcliffe & Lennon and continues to operate as a bar, record shop and live music venue.

Jacaranda Phase One (40 Seel Street, Liverpool L1 4BE)
Opened to create a larger, 300-capacity pop-up live music venue in May 2018, Phase One also contains a cafe bar and vinyl records store with private listening booths.[14]
