We are pleased to announce that the following twenty acts have made it on to the long-list of the 2015 edition of Chordblossom’s Kickstart competition.
Once again we have been absolutely astounded by the quality of entries we received. Sadly this is a competition so many of you will be disappointed to have missed out, but please don’t be. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to every single submission and we are looking forward to working with all of you over the course of 2015.
The lucky twenty that made it through to our shortlist have plenty of work ahead of them to secure a place in our showcase final on Friday 27th February 2015 in The Bar With No Name, Belfast.
Some points to note:
The voting process is open until 11pm on Sunday 15th February 2015.
You can vote once per day
To vote either click the ‘Like’ Button underneath each artist or fill in your email address and click vote. The final four artists will be based on the total of votes received through both methods.
A big thanks to our partners and supporters for Kickstart 2015. If you are a band or a buisness, we highly recommend you work with them!

Following the release of the second album from @invaderband_derry, we had the pleasure of chatting to Adam Leonard, the mastermind behind it all.
