Morning

I don't normally like doing this sort of thing but a couple of you on here know i do a bit of singer songwriting (well probably just axs) but I've managed to get into a chance of winning the final spot at Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Final this year.

If you could help me out by voting for me that would be Fantastic.
The music i do is not obviously everyone's cup of tea but hopefully some of you can help me out.

As there is only 9 other acts i thought i may as well be shameless about the whole thing and just go for it.
By voting you get entered into a chance of winning some Glasto 2010 tickets.

Voting runs for 2 weeks

Well done, my band played at Glastonbury via the emerging talent entry and its a fantastic gig, we played on the Croissant Neuf stage but have been invited back this year onto the Pyramid stage and the John Peel stage as we went down so well.

Hopefully see you there!

And I have voted for you too :)

Brilliant put up the link to your band, I get the feeling there a few musicians on here

Whats the name of the bands guys. I'll make sure I come & support you at Glasto

One of the best local acts around by far, well worth a vote! good luck mate!

My band, I say mine...I am the manager of them, are called 'The Communicators' and play a Ska based set with a couple of Specials and Madness covers chucked in.

Kaufman, are you Matt Kilford?


SSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S MATT KILFORD!

Yep and um thanks....I think

I went on and voted for your missus!

Done.  Good luck, I'm now going to try to find something of yours online to see if you deserved my vote or not.

I can't believe the line "click on my face" hasn't received more comment.

So sure, we'll all click on your face.

Probably not Billy but thanks for voting!

Any help would be great.

Brilliant, thanks for all those who voted so far, I'm the only Singer Songwriter who got through so i need all the bloody help i can get

Added to my facebook, asking all to vote for you.  BTW like the music!!!

Good stuff - you've got my vote

Also voted, good luck mate.

Fair play, sounds really good, you got my vote!

Voted and all the best please keep us posted on here how you get on and if I'm capable  through the red wine haze I'll come and see you play.

Will do Dazza, Humbled on the amount of votes from this thread, fantastic.
I've always liked this forum!

I just linked you up to one of my friends. His first comment after listening to Zurich was "a bit TOO like Simon and Garf".

I think that means he loves you. He once made me listen to nothing but Simon and Garf for 8 hours straight whilst drinking.

It's possible that you sound nothing like Simon and Garfunkel, he really doesn't know what he's talking about. I have to admit I've been bad and haven't actually listened yet. I promise I will when I get the chance.

There could be far worse comparisons Ben, Thanks for putting the word out.

Voted and good luck to you.

cheers talk talk

I'd have said more like James Taylor guitar wise, which is pretty damn good

I'm happy with that mate

I voted Volcanoes.

I'm joking, I'm joking!

Good luck.

Voted. Best of luck Matt.

Say hello to Marie! She's one of my best friends.

Will do DP

Adver have done a piece on this although I promise you that i have more personality than the article would suggest!

one more week to vote on this so any help you can send my way would be grand.

although it appears the morons who post on the match day action on there seem to post on everything on the adver site

mr big seems to have it in for you.most of the other comments are pretty encouraging.
good luck with it by the way

Voted, good luck and if i win the tickets im going to get a big sign with "Im Mr.Big fuck off Kaufman you're shit" on it and stand at the front.

Too late man, my dad has already bought the materials

Does Mr Big post on here?  :idiot:

If he does then thanks as it kept the article running a bit longer.

Had a few radio stations (swindon105fm interview today between 5 and 6) help out as i live in a place with a Swindon postcode but the word Oxon appears on my address.
Some guy on the adver forum was suggesting that as i no longer live in Swindon people should not be helping me here.
The fact that I've lived in swindon for about 2/3 of my life did not seem to matter.
People do like to assume and rant without the facts don't they?!

Oxford scum! Burn him!

 :funny:

Well the voting end tomorrow at 9am.
I never expected this many of people to vote for me on here so thankyou kindly.

Here's the final time I'll stick the link up.

Let's Hope tuesday night things get back on track after such a bizarre game yesterday.

All the best of British luck to you kaufman, looks like The Communicators have been demoted from the Main stage to the Bandstand stage, so from playing to 50,000 its gonna be more like 5,000 :( ah well cant be helped, hopefully see you there :)

You'll probably find that will work out far better.
larger numbers does not always mean better gig mate.
But can understand the disappointed

Yeah we played the Croissant Neuf stage last year which was a little smaller than the Bandstand but its all good, hope you get there and play really tight, all the best and fingers crossed for ya!

Didn't win in the end, but was closer than i thought in the voting, I came 4th out of 10 without about 550 votes I've been told, Winner got just over 700.
Was really happy with people's response on here.
Ah well to look on the bright side I'm playing at the Camden Crawl in may.
Thanks again

The Camden Crawl is a good event and could well get you spotted by some bigger promoters, we played that 2 years ago and thats where we were spotted by The Madness promoters and we were approached to do it this year but had other commitments for the 1st and 2nd May.

Fingers crossed that you get the rewards you deserve for persevering with what you love so much.

Just to let people know that I won a slot to play at Wychood festival today and I'm sure all the votes to raise my profile on the glasto competition helped.
So thanks again.
Another Band who post on here also got a slot at the festival so been a good week.
I'll be there tomorrow night (glory supporter that i seem to have become nowadays)  :bandwagon:

Fucking Jon Trowbridge band are a bunch of gay cunts. Especially JonBD.

Hush up you!
