Communion is an artist-led organisation that combines elements of live promotion, publishing, records and production. The organisation is intended as a hub for songwriters and musicians to develop and flourish within the music industry. Formed in London in 2006, the organisation was founded by Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons, former Cherbourg bassist Kevin Jones of Bear's Den, and producer Ian Grimble.〔Stubbs, Dan. "Communion." Mojo Music Magazine. July 2011. 74-81.〕 Communion works with a range of artists, and its label has released records by Tennis, Rubblebucket, Pete Roe, Michael Kiwanuka, Ben Howard, Matt Corby, Nathaniel Rateliff and Daughter, among others, along with three of its own recorded compilation albums. Communion launched a United States division in 2011, and an Australian division in 2012. ==History== Communion began in 2006 as collaboration between friends who started a monthly Club Night at West London's Notting Hill Arts Club, an event aimed to provide support and exposure for local emerging artists. Since then, the organisation has expanded to host Club Nights at venues in the United Kingdom and internationally to New York City, San Francisco and Nashville. They have featured a range of artists including Mumford & Sons, Jay Jay Pistolet, Anna Calvi, Laura Marling, Peggy Sue, and Noah and the Whale. The organisation expanded its scope, incorporating a record label and hosting annual festivals such as Bushstock, a summer festival in London's Shepherds Bush, and Communion in the Redwoods, a three-day celebration in Big Sur, California. Communion has also run smaller stages at major festivals such as The Great Escape Festival, Camden Crawl, South by Southwest, Bestival and CMJ. Communion's presence in the US was established with the organisation of two tours that featured The David Mayfield Parade, Lauren Shera, and Matthew and The Atlas. In spring 2012, the 'Austin to Boston' tour occurred following the South by Southwest Festival. Travelling from Austin, Texas, to Boston, Massachusetts, in camping vans, the tour featured Ben Howard, The Staves, Bear's Den, Gill Landry (at some shows) and Nathaniel Rateliff. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Communion (music)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
