Streetwaves

About Me

Streetwaves is here to serve all Merseyside Musicians!
Streetwaves is a Culture Company Music Project that includes Liverpool's 5 neighbourhood areas and Merseyside boroughs.
This year has been its 4th year and since it was 2008 it was very, very good.
The whole point of this is to give young people a change to show what they've got and to enjoy themselves doing the things they enjoy, which is probably making music.
After the overwhelming response to our call for local musicians to take part in Streetwaves, our panel of judges made up of music industry professionals and young people selected fantastic line ups to play the events across Liverpool and the Merseyside boroughs, which was well good!
The lucky acts that got selected played live on indoor and outdoor stages in front of the judges so they could be selected as the 'Most Ready Act' from their area.
Being named as the 'Most Ready Act' will open doors to some fantastic opportunities; These include playing Mathew Street Festival & Creamfields 2008, recording some tunes at Elevator Studios, working with leading designers A Design Collective AND they had the fantastic oppotunity to travel europe and preform in different countries.

The Culture Company would also like to announce that all acts that entered Streetwaves 2008 will be considered for up and coming events in 2008 and 2009 providing acts with an opportunity to play at quality events around the city.
In 2007/2008 Streetwaves have provided local Liverpudlian acts with a massive range of professional opportunities including Eclectica, Creamfields, Mathew Street Festival, Liverpool Music Week, The Queens Visit and the brand new Liverpool Echo Arena in front of 8000 people. How good is that please?
Organisations collaborating with Streetwaves include MZONE, National Youth Music, The Youth Service, The Dry Bar and The Liverpool Young Promoters, Lifestyles Sports Centres and Rice Lane City Farm plus all Merseyside boroughs.
