The Stable VII
The Stable consists of 70 selected acts from across
the South East region that we believe are the bands most
likely to appeal to the public and to the music industry. This will not be
a “commercial” assessment about the number of records they might
sell, or the level of musicianship, or even style, but about the band’s
own commitment to being organised, self-motivated and wanting to succeed with
whatever goals they set themselves. Bands that form The Stable will vary vastly
in style, quality and ambition. The linking factor will be that they want
to be given the best possible chance to be heard and are willing to make the
effort to be part of a project that gives them that opportunity.
Every week, The Stable will stage a Monday night gig featuring three acts
from its roster. Each band taking part will perform a 25-minute set
of their own material, and will pre-select two tracks to
be recorded live. The band will then select one of the two recorded tracks
to be included on a compilation CD. These CDs are then sent
to major industry figures for them to pick their favourite bands.
The results of this, plus the top bands voted by the cumulative weekly voting,
(Scores on the Doors), ultimately results in two separate Grand Finals, each
featuring the top respective 6 bands; The Fans’ Choice, and The Man’s
Choice, both scheduled for July.
The winner of each of these finals wins 2 days in a recording studio, and
500 CDs of the resulting outcome.
The stable is more than just a competition, a battle of the bands if you will.
It's a commitment from the Forum to local bands and vice versa, as a result,
ALL SUPPORT SLOTS FOR NATIONAL TOURING BANDS ARE ONLY ALLOCATED TO BANDS WHO
ARE MEMBERS OF THE STABLE.
