The Red Stripe Music Awards Final - 12th May at The Forum, London
These four disarming bands have been selected from over 1,000 applicants who applied online for this year's event, which went on to make the carefully selected 200 performing acts of the competition across 52 nights, starting way back in January 2008. The award was set up to champion real talent at its grass-roots stage and the final 200 were carefully researched by a team of Red Stripe and Barfly music-obsessed aficionados in an extensive A&R process to deliver what we hope should be an incredible night of rock 'n' roll.
Jonny Kirkham, one of the guys behind Red Stripe, says: "Any band that is starting out needs as much help as they can get, and as Red Stripe has been working in and around music for nearly 40 years, it is only right that we try to help local scenes develop."
In just two years, RSMA has doubled in size and with the support of headliners Dirty Pretty Things, RSMA is already earning itself a reputation.
