GIT Award shortlist announced
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 3 March 2014
Organisers of the GIT Award, which celebrates musical talent on Merseyside, have announced the shortlist for this year’s prize. And the shortlisted bands are: All We Are, Circa Waves, Dan Croll, Evian Christ, Ex-Easter Island Head, Forest Swords, Mad Brains, Ninetails, Outfit, Bill Ryder-Jones, Tea Street Band and VEYU.
Says GIT Award founder Peter Guy: “The 2014 GIT Award reaffirms my belief that there’s no region in the UK that can match the artistic ambition, technical craft and musical innovation that’s currently unfolding across Merseyside. Each of the artists on this year’s shortlist have garnered international press and radio while entertaining sell out audiences in Tokyo, South Africa, Sydney, New York and almost the entirety of Europe – and yet, most exciting of all, the majority are in their infancy”.
The overall winner will be announced on 11 Apr at Liverpool venue The Kazimier.
