Over the past few weeks a selection of the finest bloggers in the UK (including yours truly) has been listening to the thousands of bands who entered the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition 2011. Well the waiting is now over, the white smoke has appeared and the 123 acts who've made it to the longlist have been announced.
Later this week, these 123 acts will be narrowed down to a shortlist of just 8 acts who will compete at April's live finals for a main stage slot at this year's Festival. They will be chosen by the final judging panel which consists of the following 10 judges: Michael Eavis (Glastonbury organiser), Emily Eavis (Glastonbury organiser), Nick Dewey (main stages programmer), Martin Elbourne (main stages programmer), Malcolm Haynes (Dance Village programmer), Steve Symons (West Holts programmer), Philippa Aylott (Radio One producer), Angus Baskerville (live agent), Paul Charles (agent/promoter/manager) and Chris Salmon (music journalist). I don't envy their job at all as it's a really strong list of bands.
I've published the full list below because it really is well worth checking out all the bands and artists. It'll lift your spirits when you see how many great bands there are in the UK that are lying just below the radar. I can guarantee that you will be seeing posts on a number of the bands from this list on the Devil's blog over the next few months.
Good luck to all 123 artists/bands I only wish all of them could appear on the main stage. What a festival that'd be!
