My band isn't from Crawley but wants to enter?
Unlike other local Battle of the bands the competition is open to all, Any band can enter be you from Crawley, Horsham, Worthing, East Grinstead, Redhill or even Thruso, but it is worth bearing in mind we will not be able to pay you travel costs, so please consider the logistics before signing up.
I'm an Acoustic Act are you doing an acoustic event?
At the moment we have no plans to do a separate Acoustic event but please enter as if we get enough application we will seriously consider adding an acoustic event to the competition.
We want to enter but need to practise can you recommend anywhere?
Yes we can, We are partnered with HighGain who run weekend practise sessions at Horsham Youth Centre, please see www.horshamyouth.co.uk for more information, It starts at £3.50 per person, per 3 Hour Session. The practise room is fully fitted with a modern Pa, Drum kit, Guitar and bass Rigs and of course free internet access and also staff on hand to deal with any issues.
