Manchester-based independent label Concrete Recordings are to release a second Glastonbury Unsigned compilation album in aid of Shelter on June 6th 2005.
The competition is organised by the Glastonbury Festival Office, who use the competition as a way of dealing with the landslide of Unsigned applications received every year to play the Festival. The 24 finalists this year were selected by the festivals listening battalion from over 1600 entries from four categories, to appear on the Jazzworld Stage, the Dance Tent, the Acoustic Stage and the John Peel stage.
The album will be released on the 6th June 2005, giving people the time to listen to the bands before checking them out at the Festival at the end of June. The album will be available from all good music retailers and digital and hard copies direct from www.concreterecordings.co.uk.
At the Festival itself the CD can be purchased from the Glastonbury Festival Official Merchandise stalls and from the Concrete Recordings Festival venue operating in association with Oxfams Control Arms team (see www.controlarms.org for more about this campaign). The venue will be called Control Arms and Concrete Recordings present Glastonbury Unsigned Bands Late n Live 2005 in area F between the Jazz and other stages. The 20m x 12m marquee will be open all day with live music, a CD & Oxfam sales stalls and a café but will really come to life between 12:30am and 3am with live sets from Unsigned Artists once the Pyramid and other stages have closed.
Last year's Glastonbury Unsigned 2004 album included tracks by the finalists, some of whom - including The Subways, and Blackbud - went on sign deals with record labels.
Both bands will be performing at a showcase night with fellow finalists The Ralfe Band, and Cakeboy, as well as this years overall winners The Deadbeats on the 8th June at Night & Day in Manchester to help promote this years release.
Profits raised by the sales of the £5 RRP CD will be shared 50/50 between the artists and Shelter the internationally renowned charity set up to battle homelessness in Britain (see www.shelter.org.uk for more on Shelter).
Bands featured on this year's CD are: The Mad Staring Eyes, Transcargo, Sound Development Agency, Duke Raoul, Tone, The Priscillas, Second Person, Jim Moray, The Red Hand Band, Scouting For Girls, The Deadbeats, Whalebone Polly, Twee, Genesis Elijah, The Bellagios, Chemical Dub Theory, The Fabrics, Luminous, Paddy Milner, Kristian Bediiakos World Fusion Band, Moya, Dragonsfly, Unnati, and Reem Kelani.
