Studios has contacted LB with an update following the
post, here on the news, on 6th May.
".We've had such a good response that we've
decided to run two showcases a month instead of just the one.
This has been helped by the fact that a management company
has contacted us to offer to share the costs if we increase
the number of showcases. We've also been contacted by a London
record label asking us to recommend any local talent that
we think may be of interest to them..."
All of the bands that have contacted Crisis
so far will be contacted in the near future with an offer
of a date. Darren also mentioned that " we've been very
impressed by the quality of the tracks we've listened to"!!
The next showcase on Tuesday 7th June and features
includes Taken To The Wire (from Bourne), and Lincoln's 16
Hours and Dead Nettles. Contact
