Gig@Guilfest 2008
Ents24.com is giving one band the chance to gig to thousands at massive UK festival!
For a second year running, Ents24.com is offering one band the chance to perform on the Ents24 stage at this year's huge GuilFest festival. Held on the 4th - 6th July at Stoke Park, Guildford, GuilFest is one of the longest running and largest festivals in the UK and this year one very lucky band will take centre stage in front of the 45,000 capacity crowds.
Registration for Ents24's Gig@GuilFest 2008 has already begun and any band or artist can sign up now by uploading their best slice of music genius here.
Here's how it works:
All submitted MP3s will be made available to stream on the hugely popular Ents24 website ready for the public vote. Registration finishes on the 19th May and from the 20th May it's all up to the fans and the 1 million visitors to Ents24.com to vote for their favourites.
The artists voted into the top five will then face the panel of industry experts including: artist manager for Rob da Bank, partner in indie record label Sunday Best and current producer of Pasha magazine: Ben Turner; singer, songwriter, solo artist, DJ and former member of Ash: Charlotte Hatherley; artist and record label manager for Little Sister Records:Annie Marie Shields; EMI studio group who control Olympic and Abbey Road Studios; GuilFest themselves and of course, the team at Ents24.com.
The panel will then choose one lucky band as the winner to Gig@GuilFest this year!
So, what's up for grabs?
The main prize, worth thousands of pounds to the winner, is a 30-minute prime time slot on the huge Ents24.com stage but that's not all; the lucky winner will also get all of these great prizes:
A FREE day session at London's legendary Olympic Studios. These studios have played host to some of the greatest recording sessions in history, including albums from The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and are 5-times winner of Music Week's Best Recording Studio Award.
The first track on the Ents24 Stage Sounds 2008 CD, distributed to two thousand festivalgoers at the GuilFest festival.
Leaflets in every Ents24 Stage Sounds CD distributed at the festival.
News articles and interviews with the winner to be featured on the Ents24 homepage and Festival Guide.
Gig@GuilFest not only offers a slot on stage at one of the largest independent UK festivals this year, but also gives each registered band exposure to the website's million monthly readers. It's an opportunity that very few 'battle of the band' style competitions can replicate!
As the UK's largest free guide to live entertainment, Ents24 is always ahead of the opposition when it comes to new talent. Last year's winners Kal Els Cape were spotted at the festival and have since gone on to record the winning track 'Gettin Back' with top producer Jay Reynolds who has recently worked with Just Jack (recording his No1 album) and Kylie Minogue
