Simon Jaymes
I was recently asked to review Simons Music by Cue Tracks and was impressed with his natural songwriting ability. His musical talents are not the only thing to draw my attention in, Simon was an Indy Award Finaslist for Best Male Solo act and formerly a world-class ballet & contemporary dancer. Simon’s Debut Album “Wildfire” is due for release soon. For more information about Simon Jaymes please visit Simonjaymes.com

Stephen has a voice that Harmonizes incredibly well and has a very individual style of Music. Stephen is a Songwriter, Musician and Producer which seem to be case for many solo Artists these days. For more information please check out his site at Stephencaulfield.com

Get Signed LIVE!
Get Signed LIVE! is a new event launched to help aspiring bands, artists and DJs make money out of their music. The event will help them navigate the complex world of the music business, avoid the pitfalls and set themselves on the path to success.
The Event uses a combination of Expo, Workshops and a Live Stage, with the expo featuring services such as Recording, Mastering, Pressing, Artwork, and Tour Vans to name but a few. Speakers include: Adam Sieff (Global Head of A&R, SellaBand and Industry guru), Ian Clifford (MD, Mumbo Jumbo Management & Author of How to Make it in Music) and Leonard Lowy (Leonard Lowy Solicitors and Founder of the Musicians Clinic).
The Live stage offers a chance to see some of the latest break through acts to hit the Music scene and of course the opportunity for Bands to showcase their Music ability.
The event is set for 22-23 of May at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, in the heart of London’s creative community.
Show founder Toby Duckworth said, “Young musicians need advice. Get Signed LIVE! delivers just that. The event offers everything up and coming acts need to develop and kick-start their careers. It brings bands, artists and DJs closer to realising their full potential in an inspiring atmosphere mixing creativity and education with all the services emerging music makers need; it bridges the gap between artist and service provider”
