Big Team and Bristol Beacon have joined forces once again in search of the city’s best emerging talent. Now in its third year, we are bringing the activity to Bristol Beacon’s brand new redeveloped studios and stages, as well as returning to the Big Team festival circuit!

This project has been specially designed to help support aspiring artists who are making original music of modern genres, and might already be making steps with performing live, or releasing records. We aim to help advance the artist’s creative development through building confidence and connection whilst enhancing their writing, recording, performance, and promotional skills.

Successful applicants will take part in a creative studio week and will present their demos, write new material, and collaborate through co-writing and rehearsals.Following on from that will be an industry workshop day focused around navigating the world of music business, featuring specially curated workshops hosted by Bristol heavyweights Team Love, Saffron, Boomtown Festival and Hey? What! – who better to learn from than some of the biggest names in the creative industries.

With guidance from well-established artists who are experienced in the industry, and a number of active organisations in the local music scene, the hope is that together we can support the next generation of exciting Bristol artists to take their careers to the NEXT LEVEL.
