This is for musicians only, the rest of you, out! Are they gone? Well, we’ll start anyway. Despite being grade three on the Recorder, I do not consider myself a musician, so I’ll have to leave myself, but before I do, I’ll leave you in the capable hands of Sirpa from IMC.

We organise this festival called 12 Points Festival every year. 12 Points Festival features musicians from 12 different European countries and alternates between Dublin and other vibrant, young European city each year. In February 2013 the festival took place in Dublin and the next one will take place in Umeå, Sweden in April 2014.

We are looking for musicians to take part on this festival. The closing date for the applications is Friday 8th of November.

We will cover the artists hotel fees as well as the flights, transport fees and catering arrangements and we also pay the artists a performance fee so it really is a great opportunity for those emerging talents to get out there and perform.

Here’s a link to 12 Points Festival website and summary of the guidelines for applying.
