English Folk Expo is seeking artists to take part in a new Showcase programme.

15 artists (including bands), based in England and with a strong existing domestic audience, will be selected to take part.

Selected bands / artists will perform a headline concert in one of 5 music venues across England during Spring / Summer 2021.

Depending on social distancing restrictions, these gigs will be in front of a live, in person audience. In addition, they will be streamed to an online ticket buying audience.

Following the gig, the recording will be made into a 15 minute ‘virtual showcase’ featuring two or three of the live tracks and a short interview with the band. These virtual showcases will become part of a May to September programme of Virtual Showcases to an audience of music industry delegates.

In addition, the full recording of the live concert will be given to the performers for their own unrestricted future use.
