Harryboylad Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thunder Valley Rocks is a new TV series based around new and upcoming bands. We will be filming a pilot for a new 9 episode series in November/December of this year and the subsequent episodes will begin filming early next year. Over an initial four week period we will be auditioning 20 bands to appear in the pilot show which will feature the best 5 bands from the auditions. Further auditions will take place later in the year for the remaining episodes with the last show being a finale when 8 bands will compete to win an exclusive slot in one of next years music festivals. We are looking for applications from original unsigned bands who would like to appear on the show and are ambitious enough to play a major festival. Thunder Valley Rocks will take place at Thunder Valley in the stunning Amber Valley, Derbyshire which is a long established Rock and Bike Club which as well as hosting some great bands also hosts fantastic bike and car events bringing up to 20,000 visitors per month. Each episode will also feature well known celebrity music guests who give some insight into their past success and talk about what they are doing now. These guests will also be appraising the bands’ performance, offering tips and advice and finally between them they will choose one band who will win the chance to play live at one of the UK's big festivals The programme will be relaxed with celebrity music guests, including Malcolm Allured, sitting on sofas and discussing the bands, their potential and their talents as well as reflecting on their own past experiences and success stories. Their will be some flashbacks of the guests performances and discussions about how they finally made it to the big time. Once the series starts there will be a further audition process to find the 5 bands needed for each show. At the end of the series the "Best" band as decided by the celebrity guests at the finale will be invited to perform at one of the UK's big music festivals. Audition Dates:- Saturday October 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st 2015 Live Filming of First episode:- Saturday 14th November 2015 Last day for applications 15th September 2015 www.thundervalleyrocks.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) More or less the same post that has already appeared three times on the forum over the last while. Just posted in a different section of the forum. Interested applicants should carefully scrutinise the terms and conditions of events such as these. While they may promise 'exposure' there may also be contractual issues which some might feel could disbenefit a band. In the case of the Thunder Valley Rocks proposition I understand that participating bands: i) Are encouraged to bring '[i]at least'[/i] 50 fans, each of whom will be required to pay an entrance fee of five pounds ii) May be required to agree to further unspecified contractual relationships with the promoter Not that any of this is necessarily a [i]bad [/i]thing or a rip-off or pay-to-play or a 'vanity gig' exercise. But it always pays to check the small print before signing up to anything like this. Edited August 20, 2015 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
