SAE Records

Welcome to SAE Records. We produce and release the output of The Urban Folk Quartet and associated artists. SAE started life in the late 90's as Salenella Records, a self-releasing label for Joe Broughton's projects. Since 2011 all of our releases have been produced by Joe at SAE Studio, in our hometown of Birmingham, with art and design by UFQ bandmate Tom Chapman.

What We Do

In an ever changing industry, rather than a label in the traditional sense, we are essentially an independent production house. In recent years the SAE setup has expanded to cover all aspects of producing albums for professional self-release, in physical and digital formats. We have a long-established network of collaborators enabling us to cover everything from musical arrangement and album production right through to printing, manufacture, digital distribution and PR. In particular, we have developed a close working relationship with acclaimed recording, mixing and mastering engineer Andie Thomson at his high-spec Gighouse Studio as well as working with fifth member of UFQ, engineer Ben Broughton, to deliver comprehensive off-site live recording. Artwork ranges from complete in-house photography, art, and design work to collaborative initiatives with innovative artists, such as Ning-ning Li and Ellen Payne Smith.

Following the release of UFQ's Live III in late 2016, this year has so far seen SAE releases of Off By Heart, the long-anticipated new album from Dempsey Broughton, our first venture into classical music with Duo Trigás' Repertoire For Two Violins, and the first full-production studio album, Painted, from Joe's 60 piece Conservatoire Folk Ensemble. This year we have also worked with folk trio Threaded, the latest in a string of artists who have worked with us towards their own self-released albums.
