Live and Unsigned Auditions Rock and Roll Into North East !!

Author: Roger Heywood Published: 21st December 2009 14:17

Auditions across the country for Live and Unsigned 2010 are about to begin !

logoNow in its third year, Live and Unsigned is the UK's biggest original music competition for bands, vocal groups and solo artists. Travelling across the nation, the competition searches for the ultimate and best UK unsigned act.

Each act will be asked to audition live in front of a judging panel - there are no demos or recordings! All genre's are encouraged to enter the competition including pop, rnb, punk, rock, acoustic and electronic. Those who make it through the audition stage will get to perform to industry judges, A&R associates and celebrity guests in some of the UK's most prestigious venues. And those who make it to the Grand Final will get to share the stage with some of the UK's best musicians at the Live and Unsigned Festival.

The competition's aim is to find potential recording artists, with the overall winner being offered a two year management and recording contract with the potential to release their single and tour the country. Live and Unsigned has seen over 30, 000 contestants grace its audition rooms for the last three years in succession, and this year it could be you!

Auditions will be coming to London, Sheffield, Manchester, Brighton, Newcastle, Glasgow, Ipswich, Cheltenham, Fareham, Bedford and Aldershot.
