We're pleased to be able to announce the Early Bird winner of this year's Emerging Talent Competition. As you might remember, any act entering the competition before December 31 had the chance to win a slot on the Queen's Head Stage at Glastonbury 2010, as well as remaining in the overall competition.
Having listened to more than 600 entries which came in before the end of the year, the judges have selected East Londoners My Luminaries as the first ever ETC Early Bird winner. The five-piece have a penchant for melodramatic keyboards, chunky guitars and driving rhythms and have been hailed by Radio 1's Edith Bowman, Huw Stephens and 6Music's Tom Robinson in recent times. Don't take their word for it though, check out some of their sparkling tunes on My Luminaries myspace.
Dave Henderson, Glastonbury ETC judge and producer of the Queen's Head Stage said "With their heady mix of great melody lines and infectious hooks, it sounds like My Luminaries have the coolest record collection ever. We're really looking forward to seeing them at the Festival."
Two weeks left to enter your band
There are just two weeks left for acts to enter the Emerging Talent Competition, with the main prize of a chance to perform on one of the Festival's main music stages still up for grabs.
To enter, bands and performers must not be signed to a major label and should be based in the UK or Ireland. Acts should upload two of their tracks to http://www.qthemusic.com/glastonburyemergingtalent, which is open until 25th January 2010.
Each entry costs £11.95, which covers the running costs of the competition and the event finals. Twelve acts will be selected for the live finals which will be held at the end of March 2010.
