  1. In terms of workshops etc it's been the best year yet imo' date=' a lot of interesting things happening so well done to the organisers for that, I just dont like the fact that yet again bands who didnt apply are slotted in, surely the organisers should have a list of local bands who did apply that they can contact instead of just putting people in, which again devalues the whole process of submitting. Why do local bands not feel the need to submit... because apparently it doesnt matter if you do, someone who didnt may still be playing.

    On the whole, I enjoyed the experience of GoNorth this year better than any previous years, saw a few interesting out of town bands and learned a lot at the workshops, and made some valuable contacts, and as usual my complaints is about the band selection process which is again (in some cases) proved to be about who you know.

    Cheers

    Well...that explains a lot! I applied to play at GoNorth and didn't get in. I figured whoever did must've been better, maybe I'm naive. I was at the workshops too, which i really enjoyed, and decided to hang about for the showcase afterwards. Now you would think that whoever got the opportunity to play at these industry showcases would have to be pretty good wouldn't you? Well, for the most part they were good, but one of the bands was so uninspiring I thought something must not be right...and now I know why!

    Am I the only one who experienced this? ?(
