Love Folk LIVE Showcase Competition

Calling all music lovers ! The entries are in and the musicians are all raring to go. 30 acts over 3 weeks hoping to win one of nine coveted and useful prizes for independent singer songwriters. Come and help us by being a judge on one or all of the evenings. You can even help us remotely, there will be a compilation video made each week for you to give us feedback.
And you might find a new favourite in the process.

Hosted by The Live and Let Live in Pegsdon, just outside Hitchin, and organised by Helen Meissner's Folkstock Arts Foundation, this series of three showcases plus a final, running over four consecutive Tuesdays starts 28th Jan and ends four weeks later with the final on 18th February.
You are welcome to come and sample our taster menu of musicians, 10 acts a night, with three songs each starting just after half seven and ending just after ten o clock. Come for all of the evenings, or just one. But do come.

It's free entry and all these musicians are performing for you, many have been on BBC Radio across the country and nearly all have released their music on CD's. There is a wealth of talent performing and I don't think there has ever been as much great music in one evening in Hertfordshire.

Prizes range from £200 cash donated by the venue, to a guaranteed review of a EP/CD in FATEA magazine, a photoshoot with Bellanova Photography in Hitchin, two nights for two in Greene King's Old English Inn's anywhere across the country, a photoshoot with Redwood Band Photography, a slot at prestigious Hitchin Folk Club, a day in the studio at Greenbank Music Village in Luton, an interview on Secklow Sounds radio show with The Sticks magazine, a chance to have a track included on the next FATEA Showcase.

Categories range from 'Time to Tour', to 'Inspiring Innovator', 'Perennial Professional' and 'Best Newcomer'. All ages and levels of experience are catered for and the high quality of entrants reflects this inclusive range of awards. Hope to see you at the Live and Let Live in Pegsdon, 5 mins from Hitchin, starting on four Tuesdays starting 28th January and running through to the 18th February.
