Well we are in full swing with the festival season. TMO played 3 cracking gigs at Glastonbury, and last weekend we had the amazing Eliza Newman paying at the wonderful Lounge On The Farm festival in Canterbury! Festival Spectacles joined us for some fun in the sun, once the rain had gone! We met some lovely people including the fabulous singer songwriter Daughter and the very friendly Vaccines!

And it’s all at The Great Escape! http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DawsonBreedMusic/~3/cmOEubjpOB0/ http://www.dawsonbreedmusic.com/brightons-got-talent-and-its-all-at-the-great-escape/#comments Sat, 21 May 2011 01:41:04 +0000 Debra http://www.dawsonbreedmusic.com/?p=478 The Great Escape took place May 12th for 3 days and we were there again, listening to the panels and the live music! This year the Alternative Escape had some of the strongest acts playing and who are emerging very nicely!

Jake Morley

Jake Morley played a truly mesmerising set at The Latest. Just the previous week he did a live session on the Janice Long show, and the BBC peeps loved it so much that Jo Whiley replayed that session on her show!

Common Tongues

Common Tongues had a very busy couple of days playing at the Something Nothing showcase on Friday and the Shuga Buddha showcase on Saturday, in fact the Shuga Buddha showcase had such high quality acts playing, it was quite tricky trying to get to other showcases!

Shuga Buddha also showcased the stunningly brilliant Jim Stapley ………..

and the unbelievably energetic Felix Fables

both of which were so impressive, we’ve started to work with them!

With Skinny Machines also putting on an amazing live show, Shuga Buddha at The Fishbowl was the place to be!

Also check out Festival Spectacles they were launched at TGE  and are just so cool with different coloured lenses that easily slot into the frame and with 5 colours make a great accessory for any outfit! We bumped into singer songwriter Alice Russell  sporting a pair……..

First comes the ILMC in London, which clashes with Canadian Music Week in Toronto! ILMC as always was very informative, with various panels and industry opinions from across the globe. Kicking off on the Thursday night with the fabulous industry  showcase hosted by Discovery 2 at the AAA Club in Kensington with a sterling line up including Eliza Newman.

Directly after ILMC we flew straight out to Austin Texas for  SXSW ( South By South West), the annual international film, music and interactive conference and showcase where we saw some amazing talent including Kill It Kid, De Staat, Blackbird Blackbird. The Mpress Records party saw some amazing performances from a stellar line up of amazing talent: Avi Wisnia, Walter Parks, Caleb Hawley,Seth Glier, Ryan Hommel, Amy Speace, Rachael Sage and Jim Bianco
