15 bands will be chosen to audition in front of a expert panel of judges and 4 will be given the opportunity to record in Sound Galley Studios and perform live.
This is where we need your feedback. Is this a kind of event that you would be interested in par-taking in? If not, do you know anyone who would be interested? We would love to hear from you In order to fund this project, we NEED your valuable opinions and your suggestions for a name for the project!
