Speke Hall
Concert Searches for Liverpool Talent
THE world class stage of
this summer’s Speke Hall Concert will be the platform for winners of
a competition especially for the people of Merseyside, giving them
the chance to play alongside the likes of Status Quo and The
Christians.
Concert promoters Cuffe and Taylor will be inviting the talented
people of Merseyside to register online for a chance to showcase
their musical ability. A spokesperson for the event said:- "Everybody knows that Liverpool is the home to some of the most
talented musicians around, and we want to give some of that talent
the chance to perform on a stage alongside the artists such as
Status Quo and Russell Watson. We do something very similar on one
of our other concert locations, and it never fails to shock us just
how much raw and unsigned talent is out there just waiting to be
discovered."
Liverpool Introducing… will be held at the prestigious Liverpool O2
Academy in front of a live audience. After what will no doubt be a
painstaking deliberation, the panel will choose which of the acts
will go on, to perform on the same stage as the artists who are
headlining at Speke Hall Concerts.
As part of the application process, applicants are asked to submit a
YouTube link of their performance to the Speke Hall Concerts
website, before Friday, 23 March 2012. The acts will be shortlisted by a
panel of industry specialists, and invited to perform at the
Liverpool Introducing… final on Thursday 19 April, 2012.
For further information and details on how to enter please visit the
website.
Tickets for the final of Liverpool Introducing… are priced at just
£5.00 for general admission and went on sale on Monday 5 March at
09:00am, and available in person from O2 Academy box office,
Liverpool.
