South West Sound - The Search 08 is over
Over 300 artists. Rock, pop, indie, folk, world, classical, avant garde, dance, electronica, classical, jazz, big bands, punk, soul. Signed, unsigned. Managed, agents or just doing it themselves. Just starting, getting it together or a few years in. Recorded in bedrooms, back rooms and studios. This year’s South West Sound Search was the biggest and best yet. Uncovering the most eclectic, exciting and high quality music the region has to offer.
