Tunescribers Meetup Leads to Exciting Discussions About Future Growth

Since Tunescribers was founded around six years ago, we have been an entirely online business. Despite working closely together for many years, none of our team had ever met in person – until recently!

Jeff, our founder and CEO, was on vacation, sea-kayaking in the Atlantic, and found himself with a loose day in Edinburgh, Scotland. Faced with the rare opportunity of being on the same landmass, the rest of our admin team, Sam and Leo, made the ~6hr train journey up from the south of England in order to introduce ourselves IRL.

As well as seeing the sights and sampling the local beers, there was some talking shop to be done. We discussed the future of Tunescribers; how we can improve what we do for our customers and what we can do to continue to grow.

We have some exciting things on the horizon, and we’re always looking for feedback, so if you like what we do – or if you don’t! – get in touch and let us know what you’d like to see us doing in the future.

  • ‘Here Comes the Sun’ is in the key of A major and features several key changes
  • ‘Here Comes the Sun’ was originally going to be the opening song on Abbey Road, but was later relegated to the opening of side two (track 6)
