Following the line-up announcement of Primal Scream, The Cribs and The Wonder Stuff, preparations for Bingley Music Live are well under way.

Now the search is on for unsigned artists to be part of this year’s festival.

The Emerging Talent Competition offers local acts the opportunity to compete for a main stage and second stage slot at the three-day event in Bingley’s Myrtle Park, following in the footsteps of acts such as Nero and Jake Bugg.

Acts from any musical genre are welcome to enter. Applications will be whittled down to a shortlist of eight artists/bands to perform in front of a panel of judges at the live final on May 31. Four entrants will then be selected to perform at the festival.

Download an application form from bingleymusiclive.com/ emergingtalent.php or e-mail info@bingleymusiclive.com. Return the form no later than 5pm on Friday, April 26, to info@ bingleymusiclive.com or Bingley Music Live, 3rd Floor, Jacobs Well, Bradford, BD1 5RW.
