Red Stripe Music Award seeks emerging live talent

The Red Stripe Music Award, returns for the third year to offer emerging bands the opportunity to play hard and win big, securing slots at three of the summer's favourite festivals including Brighton's The Great Escape.

The four month regional gig series will start in January 2009, travelling to over 25 of the Country's live music venues, from Cabaret Voltaire in Edinburgh to MI Bar in Cornwall showcasing acts from the grass roots music scene along the way.

The competition is open to bands who play 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.

Bands can enter via www.redstripe.net where regular updates on the regional gigs, shortlists, finalists and special promotions will be made over the next 6 months.

Last year's winners were Klaus Says By The Record.
