Guest Startex Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 goNORTH 2005 will be at the end of May/start of June. There will be two nights of free showcases on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd June in the usual venues along Belmont Street. Those showcases will, as always, feature the bands who are expected to be of greatest interest to the music industry and world. If you think that your band should be included then please send a demo package to:goNORTHAberdeen FoyerMarywell StreetAberdeen AB11 6JFYour demo package must include a cd with at least three songs, and a breif biography explaining how long you've been on the go, what you've done so far, and why you think the music industry is going to want to check you out. If you have a decent photograph of the band please include that as well. Don't put one in that's taken at a gig unless it's in focus and very well lit. Last but by no means least, put your contact details on every page you include, and on the cd!This is an un-official announcement and it hasn't gone public anywhere else yet, so you have a lot more warning than any other bands! I don't yet know what the deadline will be so get them in as quickly as you can. I will be fighting to get as many local bands on as possible but need your demos to do so. Remember that it's open to all bands, in all coutries in the northern hemisphere, so there's fairly stiff competition!We are hoping to get The Musicians Union Workshop Band to Foyer Music for free workshops on Monday 30th May and Glasgow's Soma Records will be holding their Soma School workshops at Snafu on Friday 3rd June. There will be a cover-mounted CD with Music Week again and there's quite a lot of interest already from around the industry. We hope to get the website updated sometime but as soon as I have any news I'll post it up here.Any questions, you know how to get a hold of me!
