THE UNSIGNED BAND’S BIBLE!
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE UNSIGNED BAND’S BRAND -
Hi, Welcome to the 100th issue of Playmusic Magazine! This issue we reveal the winners of the 2011 Playmusic Unsigned Awazrds. Congratulations to all of the winning artists and thanks to our sponsors: Orange, Tascam, Shure, Rotosound, TheMicStore and Elixir. We are really proud to have achieved this incredible anniversary and to make it really special we have put together something really special for YOU, our loyal readers. Playmusic has joined forces with some of the
biggest and best names in the business to put together a mega competition where one lucky Playmusic reader can win a complete band’s worth of free kit! That’s right, we have assembled a ton of cool gear that you can have a crack at winning: A PRS 25th Anniversary Custom 24 SE, a Fender Mustang III combo, a US Musicman Stingray four-string bass, a Roland Cube CB20XL bass combo, a Gear4Music GD-5 drum kit, an AKG D5 vocal dynamic microphone and even a complete PMX-700 PA system courtesy of Wharfedale Pro! That little lot adds up to (counts on fingers) over three Grand’s worth of equipment! Well, 100th anniversaries don’t come around all that often so we thought that it was pushing the boat out. Our heartfelt thanks to all of the manufacturers and distributors who generously contributed to this competition: Headline Music, Fender GBI, Strings and Things, Roland UK, Gear4Music, Sound Technology and Wharfedale Pro. Enjoy this special issue of Playmusic and don’t forget to send in your competition entries. See you soon,
