Are you an artist?
Do you manage or work with someone in local music, struggling to get their music out there and promote and connect?
Or maybe you know someone in your personal life looking to benefit from exploring different ideas, perspective and influences (regardless of genre) from genuine other like minded skilled creatives?
Anyone you can think of with a published song that deserves more attention?
A demo session for attendees encourages a chance to experience new artists, their sound, music and artistic personality's, but also approach them and have a chat (most of us all know unfortunately most artists at live events don't always have the time or energy for meet and greets, networking or dealing with people post/pre playing their music live.
Get music you want to hear by local artists played on the night, and the night's Song Nominations playlist will also be available across music platforms to continue cross genre, cross artist and cross platform promotion and ease of use for people to discover your music online and socials!
Once you have your ticket purchased you'll be able to choose a Song Nomination. So artists, once you've got your ticket, make sure you really think about what song you feel is a good representation of you as an artist, a song you are proud of and make sure you check out the details we will email to be sure your song is confirmed on our Song Nomination Playlist.
