Fancy making a demo CD?
Track Record is a new popular music competition for young musicians in East Kent
organised by Canterbury Festival and supported by Your Music School and
Independent Music Productions.
We’re looking for the next big thing in 3 separate categories at both Junior (age 12 –
14) and Senior (age 15 – 18) level:
1) Solo artist (singer/instrumentalist with backing track or playing own
accompaniment)
2) Duo/Trio
3) Band (4 piece +)
To apply, submit the attached application form along with a sample track (this can
be recorded using a smartphone) for the Judges to decide who will go through to the
audition round.
Only three acts in each category will be selected from the auditions to go through to
the Live Final in the Canterbury Festival on Sunday 18 October at the Ballroom, The
finalists will compete for the top prize in each category – the opportunity to record
a one-track demo in a professional recording studio!
Have you got what it takes?
Apply before Friday 18 September 2015
Details: The closing date is Friday 18 September 2015. Paper applications and sample tracks will be longlisted by an
independent panel who will select acts for the auditions to be held on 1st or 2nd October (to be confirmed) at Your Music
School in Wincheap. The final gig will be held on Sunday 18 October at The Ballroom as part of Canterbury Festival.
Performers will be on the guestlist for the gig, but family and friends can purchase their tickets from Monday 3 August via
the box office on 01227 787787 or www.canterburyfestival.co.uk. Audition: If you are successful in the first round, you will
