The ‘Brighton Live Lounge’ is a new, prestigious competition in support of undiscovered musical talent in association with some of Brighton’s best known music companies; Soundlocker recording studio, Juice FM and events guide The Source. We are hoping that your publication/radio station would like to get involved too by promoting the event to your readership and perhaps featuring the winning band or artist post-contest.

Bands & singer songwriters (who can be signed or unsigned but must be located in Sussex) are invited to post a link to their MySpace page on the Brighton Live Lounge FaceBook page wall before August 1^st 2010 – it’s as easy as that to enter! Esteemed judges from the previously mentioned sponsors will then select 5 finalists and entrants should then urge their fans to ‘rate’, ‘comment’ and/or ‘like’ these wall posts. The 3 bands with the highest levels of activity on the wall (deadline; August 16th) will then be awarded one of the following PRIZES:

1^st PRIZE:

 The winning act will perform in The Brighton Live Lounge (between 21-27th August) to perform and record one original song and one cover version at the renowned Soundlocker Recording studio which will be professionally mixed. These songs will be premiered on Brighton’s Juice FM and the winning act will also be featured in September’s issue of The Source. The songs will also be released on iTunes by Mud Hut and uploaded to Spotify. The studio performance will also be video recorded in HD and then professionally edited.

2^nd & 3^rd PRIZES:

The 2 runner ups will receive a free digital marketing and promotions consultation at the Mud Hut Digital office as well an array of goodies from various Brighton music shops.

The Mud Hut team are busy working on complimentary prizes so expect this world class bounty to increase - any companies or publications with prizes to offer please get in touch. We will of course pay tribute to your company throughout the competition in exchange for any kind donations.

If you do feature this exciting competition in your publication (and we sincerely hope you are interested!), please do make us aware of this so we can thank you officially on the FaceBook Brighton Live Lounge page.
