James is looking for a Cornwall based artist or band to be his support act for this show! This is a unique and hugely exciting opportunity for a local artist/band to shine.
If you are based in Cornwall and would like to support James at Truro Hall, send the following to info@connectedlimited.com
1 MP3 track or a link to a website/MySpace.
Name, Address, Contact Number, Age and 1 Photo.The closing date for entries is 1st July, when James will choose the winning local act to support him.
James said of the competition, “When I was starting out, I wanted nothing more than to play live, but there weren’t enough places and I had to move away from Cornwall to get my music heard.
With this gig I hope to give some local musicians a focal point and a chance to get up, impress everyone, and move forward with their music careers.
The stage at the Hall For Cornwall is a brilliant place to perform, so come on, send me your music and let’s go ! It’ll be an amazing night and I hope we can put on a great show, as well as raising money and awareness for the Tanya’s Courage Trust, an organisation who work so hard on behalf of young people with very serious illnesses”.
Update: From the official sites:
James has chosen a winner to support him at his Hall For Cornwall, Truro gig in aid of Tanya’s Courage Trust on 19th July.
The winner is 19 year old Jack Wallen from Higher Brea, Cornwall.
James said “There were so many great entries for the competition, and it was difficult for me to choose one, but in the end I chose Jack Wallen because he had the best lyrical flow and a style of his own. I think he sounds great and I’m looking forward to seeing him play”.
