Offline festival apps that work with no signal — the whole programme on your phone — and fast sites for bands, DJs, labels, venues and radio stations. No cookies, no advertising pixels, no profiles.
Festival apps are the main line — they're the ones with numbers behind them. Since then I've been building sites for music too. Both solve the same problem: getting the music in front of people on a phone, on a bad network.

Raw disco, funk and soul · Supa Jams
Live before their debut album lands, February 2027
The band's own site, built from their records, films, dates and photographs: one fast page, no cookies, no advertising pixels, no profiles. The copy and the pictures are theirs — I built the thing that holds them.

The festival apps, on real crowds and real signal.
As both a punter and performer your app was essential. It was smooth, easy to use and read and worked well offline.
Exporting to calendar was perfect for me because my watch then just gave me a 15 min warning when something was about to happen. Thank you for doing that — really hope you do it again next year!
The app got 2,000 users — that's awesome. Wicked. Big ups to you.
That schedule planner is a great idea … Well done!
This is the part I care about most, and it's the part that makes Melosuite different. Everything here is built the same way: nothing follows you around.
At a festival your plan is yours. No account, no login, no profile of what you starred or which sets you turned up to. Nothing about you leaves the phone — and because there's nothing to sell, there's nothing to leak.
On a site I build there are no advertising pixels, no tracking scripts and no profiles of you — no cookie banner, because there's nothing to consent to. Nothing follows you from a band's site to a label's, or to anywhere else.
I do count visits — an aggregate, cookie-free number, so a festival can see how many people used the app and a band can see whether anyone found them. What I've never done, and won't, is build a picture of who those people are.
You can read the whole position on the privacy page, and the band's site shows how it looks in practice: the CJP Band case study.
The things that matter on the day — and the things your team will ask about beforehand.
The whole programme is stored on the phone the first time the app opens. No signal, no data, no wifi — it still works.
Checked against WCAG 2.1 AA on every release, with screen-reader checks that block any update that would break it.
At We Out Here 2026, a blind festival-goer told me this was the app his screen reader could actually use. He called it a life-saver.
No login, no account, no ads. Each person's plan stays on their own phone. Visitor counts are aggregate and cookie-free.
Loads in under a second on real festival networks, with Google's Core Web Vitals in the "good" band at both We Out Here and Jazz on Wick.
I work from your master running order. When a set moves, the change comes through me, gets checked, and reaches every phone — no app update needed.
Every release passes automated smoke, accessibility and data checks before it goes live. For bigger builds, I'll work alongside your independent security testers.
Melosuite is Phil Godfrey. I've spent years in and around the scene — dancing, supporting local underground DJs and musicians, part of the Melomaniacs crew at We Out Here — long before there was ever a product. Music was never something to break into; it's just how I live.
The most joyous thing there is: dancing with friends, and with new friends. Melosuite makes sure nobody misses the moment.
I'm a computer science graduate, and I build, test and run every app myself — so the person you talk to is the person doing the work.
I'm taking on a small number of festivals for 2027, each with its own branded, official app — and sites for bands, DJs, labels, venues and radio stations. Alongside that, Melosuite is heading to the App Store and Google Play — one app for every festival: tap yours and its programme downloads, ready with no signal.
A festival, a band, a label, a venue, a radio show — send me what you've got and I'll tell you what I'd build.
