Emerging Talent Competition

[jamseyboy]

Start a new forum heading and get as many signups as possible.

[ilovelanegan]

Very well - and Im going to use your forum heading too

[jeffie]

I wonder how we could suggest to the Festival that maybe the New Talent comp should start off as a vote type thing?

Could put tracks up online, and have a proper online Talent Comp.

G Factor style....

I dunno, I do quite like the fact that the Glasto comp is based on talent rather than popularity - gives people who are really good but haven't found a big audience yet a chance, unlike the awful 'road to V' nonsense or similar. Of course, if it was just up to the eFests boarders than I think we'd stand a chance

Oh and I think one of the final 'play-off' spots is down to a public vote this year so the nation shall have their say.

This competition closes at the end of the month

Indeed it does folks - we got our application in on New Year's Eve as apparently there's another slot up for grabs for 'early bird entries' (at Queen's Head I think) before Dec 31st.

Here is our entry if you lot fancy a gander - it was pretty difficult deciding which 2 tracks to put forward, hope you think we made good choices...

Cool tracks hope you guys get through, but I preferred the download you guys had, Sam loves guns (Purely a personal thing, I just really happened to like that one )

[srvman]

would you be offended if i thought you had a real fleet foxes sound...

I think you are fantastic.

Social Resin are in for the win

[Bad Monkey]

Oh yes Bad Monkey have entered!

We love Glastonbury and are going anyway, and it will be Jenny Bad Monkey first Glasters too! It all just adds to the build up to the festival itself.

My uni folk-pop band entered but I'm not sure I fancy our chances; our recordings are pretty rough around the edges as none of us really know how to mix them.

Thought it was worth a shot anyways.

Can give us a listen here if anyone's interested: http://www.myspace.com/tabloidvivant

The myspace is a bit tatty too - we only made it so we could enter.

Good luck to any of you who entered! xx

There's a chance to vote for the people's choice here:

I love listening to new music , it does indeed get the old blood flowing and have been listening to the final 12 in the ETC and i have a few faves that must play at Glasto. Check out their Myspace sites. I wish i lived near Pilton so i could get to see these bands play in the finals at the Pilton mens working club.

They are :

Mayhew ( hoping they will win! )

Lets buy Happiness

Family Machine

Ellen and the Escapades

Good luck to you guys, i guess we might even catch some of you in the BBC introduction or Q tents this year.

[Paul ™]

Live stream from 7.30pm tonight

[Paul ™]

Anyone watching?

[ghandi]

Watching now, i thought that Phantom light were just ok, looking forward to seeing Ellen and the Escapades ( singing Run) and Family Machine, want to see Mayhew tomorrow, lead sing Kathy Wilcox looks great and they sound really good.

[beermonster_c]

Just tuned in now, first impressions of Faded Cadence seem pretty good.

Nice to see a brummy band doing well also!

[ghandi]

Not liking the second band much

[beermonster_c]

Is this being streamed from Pilton Working Mens Club? If not, anyone know where is this being hosted?

[beermonster_c]

[ghandi]

Working mens club...ah thats why the stage seems tiny!

[beermonster_c]

I am a little surprised that of the 175k people that will be going to the festival, there are only 150 people watching this according to the viewer count on this live stream
