UK Musicians: MEMusic Competition: Upload tracks for a 12-date tour supporting V.V. Brown‏
Category: Music

MEmusic, the Amazing Tunes-powered music sharing site from Metro newspaper, is running a competition to find the hottest new music talent in the UK. They’ve teamed up with Island Records and Nissan QASHQAI for On-line and On-tour ‘09. The prize is fantastic: a 12-date tour with one of the most exciting acts of the moment, V.V. Brown. And that’s not all. If you win, you’ll also get studio time to record your winning track which will then get a digital release through Island Records.

All you need to do is register with MEmusic: http://memusic.metro.co.uk/onlineandontour (if you’re an existing member, simply log in), upload your track, nominate an Island Records cover from the latest Island artists’ new releases and wait to be called to a regional final.

There are 5 live finals around the country being hosted by Barfly:
Kingsway, Cardiff on 28/09/09
Masque, Liverpool on 30/09/09
Barfly, Chalk Farm, London, 02/10/09
The Junction, York, 03/10/09
The Arches, Glasgow, 04/10/09

If you reach the final, you’ll need to perform your original track plus the Island Records cover you’ve nominated. Your performance will then be judged by an Island Records representative, a Barfly representative and the audience.

The winners of the regional finals will go to a public vote with Metro readers deciding who wins the big prize.
