Big Music Project Competition to hunt down new musical talent
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 27 May 2014
The BPI’s Lottery-funded Big Music Project has announced a talent contest to seek out young musicians from around the UK and get their music heard by “top industry executives”.
Also involved in the project are Global Radio’s Capital and Classic FM brands, as well as youth work charity UK Youth, and the competition will be staged in the run-up to next year’s BRIT Awards, with the grand final taking place during the week of the ceremony next February.
Starting in November this year, The Big Music Project Competition will begin touring thirteen UK towns and cities finding musicians between the ages of fourteen and 24, hitting Belfast, Glasgow, Gateshead, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Leicester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol, St Austell, Portsmouth and London.
As well as getting their music in front of industry folk, the winners of the competition will be given the opportunity to record at Abbey Road Studios and perform at the Albert Hall as part of the Classic FM Live series.
