Background
Something unique is starting....
Frequency is at the helm, along with Create Studios, Brunel FM, and Western Computer.
Frequency Airborne is a battle of the bands with a difference.
Starting from May you will be able to hear, live on the Frequency radio show, nine bands that you can then vote for.
Winners will get some sensational prizes as the Frequency Airborne Band of 2008.
Each month there will be a live event at the 12 Bar on Westcott Place, so not only will you be able to hear tracks on the radio, acoustic sessions but also a live gig…so you can truly vote for your favourite band.
In this unique event for 2008, there are some fantastic prizes. Create Studios is offering a ‘Complete Studio Package’ as a prize. This will include five days in Create’s state-of-the-art Sound Studio, working alongside top producer Barry Andrews, through to the production of a finished CD.
The winning band will also receive a Mac Book Pro & Logic Studio software courtesy of airborne’s sponsor, Western Computer, Wiltshire’s only Apple Premier Reseller.
Nine bands will be picked to go into the event. Three will be showcased each month, one a week with a round up week. On the final week the three bands will play live at the 12 Bar, Swindon. One band from each group of three will be picked by public vote to take part in the final.
After the initial rounds are over, the winning three bands go through to the final round. Two more weeks of radio coverage followed by the final at the 12 Bar, where the winner will be announced.
