RESCUED & EXPOSED - THE WINNERS
Saturday saw 17 Young Acts play Gloucester's Premier Live Music Venue the Guildhall, often the haunt of many a Big Named Act, warming up for Festivals and Major Music Events.
Thankfully the 'Good Old Gilly' had bravely stepped in at the last minute to Rescue the Exposure Music Awards! from Disaster, after their previously scheduled venue in Cheltenham had closed just four days before the awards were due to take place, citing financial difficulties (See Previous Front Page Story in Echo).
"I Was Amazed" said Dean G Hill, the Organiser & CoFounder of the awards, "How everyone rallied round at the last minute to Rescue us from certain Disaster and still make a show Happen":
From Local Wine Merchant Bablake who loaded a Pallet full of beer courtesy of The Global Brewing Giant InBev into a van provided by Mudie Bond Mercedes, given at short notice to resolve logistical issues, to Promo teams from the University of Gloucestershire's Popular Music Course, who also recorded the event, out on the streets of Gloucester on Saturday morning getting the word out on the changes…
our M/C Martin Brown of The Orange County Music Awards in California and CoFounder of EMA® commented "we knew we were going to be down on numbers, because of the mess we were landed in by The Front Rooms, but everyone's moved Heaven & Earth to keep this great show on the road, in its third successful year, and produce yet another amazing night of Emerging Live Talent and Music Awards Presentations".
EMA® would also like to express huge thanks to this year's Awards presenters who rolled with the creative flow and helped turn our week of Chaos & Glory into something strangely Special & Triumphant for Good Music Everywhere;
• Stefan Edwards of Kiss My Face Promotions and The Wychwood Festival
• Jo Heatley of Cheltenham Folk Festival and The Pump Rooms

…
