Mercury Prize Winner Speech Debelle on Exposure National Tour
Mercury Prize Winner Speech Debelle will headline Exposure Music Awards East, when the East of England’s freshest new music discovery platform launches at The Junction in Cambridge, on November 10th 2009
The date has been added to the 26 year-old rapper’s first National Headline Tour, as Speech Debelle and her three-piece band tour the country to support the launch of her Barclaycard Mercury Music Award Winning album, Speech Therapy.
“We are so excited that Speech Debelle has agreed to perform at EMA® East”, say the Organisers, “It’s a major moment for us – and for all the new artists who will be recognised at The Awards.
“Right now, they’re at the bottom of a very crowded ladder – and Speech’s story is an inspiration for any artist who’s serious about taking their music to the next level.”
Exposure Music Awards launched two years ago, extending its search for the very best new music into the East of England this year and Europe in 2010. The Awards aim to discover, develop and deliver new music talent - with Nominees in the East of the Country having the opportunity to play live on the same bill as Speech Debelle on November 10th, as well as to feature on the Exposure Showcase CD that will be distributed to industry, media and fans after the Awards.
Registration is open to bands/artists living and performing within 75 miles of Cambridge (UK), with Awards on offer for Best Male, Best Female and Best Live! acts, as well as song categories for Best Rock, Best Pop, Best Punk, Best Alternative, Best Dance and Best Urban.
Artists outside the region can still enter Exposure’s Best Out of Area Award, which last year saw entries from as far afield as Norway and Australia.
To enter, artists/bands must be 18 or over, performing original music and currently living in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambs & Huntingdonshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Northants, Buckinghamshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Middlesex and Essex.
Registration for all Award categories closes on Friday October 16th 2009.
