External applicants: Please use our contact form or call Head Office so we can discuss the level of experience required before you submit an application.

Join the Band!

What to expect

Successful BritFest applicants will receive an information pack in June. This will tell them their band allocation and give them a list of six songs, unique to their band, that they must prepare themselves to a good standard in advance of the course.

During the first four days they will be allocated their band manager, work with a professional stylist and a performance coach and spend time on stage working with a producer. Interspersed with song analysis and set list arrangements are intensive band tuition sessions with their specialist instructors. There are daily structured rehearsal sessions. On the Friday morning there will be a sitzprobe for each band together with meetings with the sound engineer, the video crew and the stills photographer. After final soundchecks there will be a short break before the concert doors open.
