Out & Wild is excited to launch Sapphic Voices, our search for queer female and non-binary music talent in Devon and Cornwall.
We are very grateful to the Arts Council for funding this programme
We have teamed up with our partner the F-List, who support female and non-binary musicians to platform, mentor and support 6 musicians in the South West.
6 lucky winners will get the paid opportunity to play at Out & Wild Festival in June, PLUS play at Plymouth, Cornwall and Exeter Pride events over a year period.
They will also receive mentorship and on-line workshops from The F-List, to help support their development as musicians. Sessions will be delivered by music industry leaders.
Fancy entering?
All you need to do is send us an email titled 'Sapphic Voices' to info@outandwild.co.uk tell us where you live (to enter you must live in Devon or Cornwall) and include a link to a video of you playing. The video can be at a gig or recorded yourself. We will not judge the quality of the recording!
You can be a solo artist, or part of a band*. You just need to identify as LGBTQIA+ and be female or non-binary.
Please also include your email address and any social links.
We will be accepting entries until Friday 28th March and then a panel of expert judges will decide the winners.
Winners will also be featured in DIVA magazine.
PLUS
We will also provide 14 runners up with access to the free workshops and free tickets to Out & Wild Festival.
*Funding is £150 to play per act and the same for groups and solo artists. We also have a budget for travel and access needs you can apply for if required.
