| The worlds best microphone company is looking for the best musical talent that the world doesnt know about yet |
Sennheiser, the company whose microphones give voice to so many of the world’s performing artists, is inaugurating a competition to search out some of the nations best hidden musical talent. The search for the country’s best unsigned bands and artists is being run in conjunction with Nexus Media’s Making Music title, the world famous Gibson guitar company, top British guitar amp manufacturer Orange, leading recording technology company TASCAM, and Mindprint studio effects.
The world leading microphone company, who’s products are used extensively throughout the studio and live sound industries, as well as almost exclusively in West End and Broadway musical theatre, actively sponsors not only some of the world’s leading performing artists like Jamiroquai,Toploader and Doves, but also new and breaking acts like Glasgow’s Cosmic Rough Riders and Starsailor. Its long running experience with bands and artists at every level of success has led Sennheiser to extend its activities further, in support of talent as yet undiscovered.
Six musical categories are divided into pop, rock, dance, hip-hop, R&B and jazz. The winners of each heat pick up £500 in cash, plus a wealth of guitar, amplifier and recording equipment, not to mention Sennheiser evolution microphones and headphones. The overall winning artist or group, judged from among the winners of each of the individual categories, stands not only to receive £5000 in cash, almost £2000 of Sennheiser evolution microphones and headsets, a TASCAM digital recording workstation, Orange guitar combo and a Gibson SG guitar, but also the chance to record with one of the world’s most respected producers, Mike Hedges, in his brand new Wessex Studios complex. What Mike has done over the years for a whole range of artists as diverse as The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Beautiful South and the Manic Street Preachers, he might well repeat for the winners of the Sennheiser Contest.
Entries must be in by 30th September and application forms and details are available in an extensive press advertising campaign or from the company’s website: www.sennheiser.co.uk/.
