Talent Search for a Singer/Songwriter Star = Meet Toploader + Perform On Stage
Tuesday 8 August, 2023
ONLINE TALENT CONTEST!
IN SEARCH OF A STAR SONGWRITER/SINGER!
WINNER TO PERFORM AT DORSET’S MUSIC BY THE SEA FESTIVAL
PLUS: MEET & GO BACKSTAGE WITH TOPLOADER!!
ARE YOU A SOLO/DUO WHO WRITES AND PERFORMS THEIR OWN MATERIAL?
If you win our search for a star you could perform on the same mainstage at the same festival as one of the UK’s most famous English bands: TOPLOADER.
Front man Joe Washburn has said he “can’t wait” to headline Music by the Sea to help raise awareness and funds for charities #Willdoes and Cancare both of whom support the wellbeing of young people.
Now he’s even more excited to hear the winner of our talent competition!
In addition to performing on stage, the winner will also get to meet/greet Toploader, get a photo with the band and the opportunity to watch from backstage.
Remember! This is the band who formed in 1997 with several top 20 hits and performances at big events including the FIFA World Cup Final in Qatar in 2022! The band is expected to pull in the festival’s largest ever crowd of around 2,000 people so this is YOUR CHANCE to become FAMOUS!
You’ll also be performing on the same stage as local Indie rock band GALAXY THIEF whose hits include ‘Timewaster’ with over a million plays on Spotify and YouTube since it was released last year featuring new front man and co-writer Rhys Messenger.
The festival, taking place September 2nd 2023, is in memory of Henry Searle and William Paddy, two local young boys who tragically passed away.
Founder of #Willdoes and mum of Will, Lesley Paddy, and Vicki Searles, mum of Henry, enthused: “Both charities are thrilled to have such a prestigious band headline at the festival and support such great causes. We’re also really keen to support upcoming talent. It’s such an incredible opportunity for someone to become famous!”
