Red Stripe Music Award 2010
4 Jan 2010
Storming into its fourth year, the Red Stripe Music Award 2010, supported by Last FM, is hitting the streets once again giving budding bands the chance to share what they’ve got with the rest of the country.
Bands and artists are invited to enter details via www.redstripe.net and if selected, will play for the chance to win spots at some of the UK’s best loved festivals, including The Great Escape.
Fender equipment and Merc clothing will also be up for grabs as well as hours of free consultancy with Arising Artist, a group of music industry professionals who advise on A&R, Promotion, Publicity, Marketing, Management and general business management.
Paul Brazier from the Red Stripe team tells us "The Red Stripe Music Award is about providing emerging artists with an appropriate platform to be heard, with support from partners that truly benefits each band."
Open to bands playing any manner of music, utterly unbiased to trend or leaning, Red Stripe asks only that applicants are over 18 years old and perform original tracks with the heart and soul they deserve.
The Red Stripe Music Award is supported this year by Arising Artist, Fender, Last FM, Merc, The Fly magazine and The Great Escape.
Check out www.redstripe.net for more about venues and dates. Last year’s winner, Ben Howard, has since toured Europe and America supporting Fink and Jason Mraz as well as playing a number of festivals including Lovebox, Glastonbury and The Great Escape.
