ghost Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've been quite interested in this for a while now. Only just submitted the 3 tracks via sonicbids.com (quite a good site for electronic press kits - see The Family Simpson-Sonicbids EPK for an example). Last year Chris Difford from Squeeze, King Creosote and about 10 other songwriters toured around Dumfries - Stirling after spending a few days together writing songs. Sounds an alright prize!Only drawback - 10 entry fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
