Kintyre Songwriters seeks new talent

Postby Kintyre Forum News » Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:07 pm

The Kintyre Songwriters Festival is on the look out for new performers for this year’s event, which is being held in Campbeltown on 27 – 29 May 2011. Past performers, and those from further afield, are also invited to get in touch. The festival, which is now in its fourth year, welcomes all styles of music and aims to showcase and promote the song writing and musical talent in Kintyre. It also aims to encourage a new generation of local songwriters and musicians, by means of donations to local musical groups/organisations and the presentation of an annual memorial quaiche at Campbeltown Grammar School for original folk song.

This year’s event will include free and ticketed events and will run over three nights, as well as an open mic session on the Saturday afternoon, so everyone can get involved and enjoy the musical talent. Continued below >>>>

Friday night ‘bands night’ will be a free event held at Whisky Macs Bar, followed by ticketed events held in the White Hart Hotel on Saturday and Sunday evenings that will showcase solo artists and bands, as well as seeing the return of some regular festival artists. The ticketed events are purposely kept in an intimate setting, and the atmosphere over the past few years has been electric.

The open mic session held in the White Hart Hotel on the Saturday afternoon will provide a perfect platform for new singer/ songwriters who may not feel confident enough to perform at one of the main evening events, yet it gives them the opportunity to get one or two songs heard in a relaxed atmosphere.

If you are interested in playing at any of the events, the Kintyre Songwriters Festival would be delighted to hear from you, email info@kintyresongwritersfestival.co.uk – closing date for entries is end February.

More details and ticket sales will be announced soon, and you can keep up-to-date by also visiting http://www.kintyresongwritersfestival.co.uk or find them on facebook.
