Blow the Fuse was formed in 1989 by jazz musicians Deirdre Cartwright and Alison Rayner to create gigs, manage tours, release records, host jazz nights and avoid day jobs :) We create a music world where women are featured as instrumentalists, band leaders and composers.
We are creative, curious, optimistic and believe the world is finally catching up with the Blow the Fuse vision.
Home of Blow the Fuse records which has released albums by Deirdre Cartwright, Emily Remembered, Electric Landladies, Lund, ARQ - Alison Rayner Quintet and most recently Deirdre Cartwright's ORGANIK.
