M For Montreal host showcase at TGE
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 10 May 2010
So, it’s The Great Escape in Brighton this week, and among the many band showcases that take place during the three day music convention are several showing off acts from certain parts of the world.
And among them this year you will find an event being hosted by the guys at M For Montreal, an organisation which “creates a window to the world for artists emerging from the Montreal and Canadian music scene”, both with their own events, and via showcases at SxSW, CMJ, Canadian Music Week and, of course, The Great Escape.
Ahead of their TGE event, M For Montreal’s Stéfane Campbell told CMU about the Canadian city’s music scene: “For the past decade, Montreal has become the foundation of an alternative music movement that has won the attention and respect of critics all over the world. Patrick Watson, Duchess Says, Martha Wainwright, Champion, Malajube, Cœur de Pirate, Pierre Lapointe, Beast and many more have all benefited from the spotlight that has fallen on the largest French-speaking city in North America”.
At their TGE showcase, at LIFE on Friday (14 May) from 2pm, M For M will present Final Flash, Let’s Go To War and Think About Life. You can find out more about M For Montreal at
