Dave_the_bass Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Did M2TM last year. It's not a con or a pay to play, it is a popularity contest. The more people you take to support you the more votes you get and therefore progress through the heats to the final. We didn't get through as we opted, prior to my arrival in the band, to play the Wolverhampton heat rather than our local Mansfield heat. Not sure if we're going for it this year. This thread has just reminded me to chat to the guys about it. Good luck and keep us posted if you get to the festival. I'm going anyway.

MacDaddy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'll start to publicize my bands gig nearer the time. Would be great to see some of you there! I went to one of the heats a few weeks ago. It was quite well attended and the band's were good. I'll probably go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDaddy Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 we won! Well we were one of the 2 bands that went through. [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dapper Bandit Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 We competed in that a couple of years ago. Well, I say we, I couldn't make the first heat due to being away on holiday so the band entered as a duo irrespective of the fact that if we won I wouldn't be able to make Bloodstock due to work commitments. So this is all second hand information but the other two had a good time playing in 2 heats and the band that eventually won enjoyed playing and seemed to be fairly warmly received. It is a bit of a popularity contest / battle of the bands setup but that's the nature of the beast, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriswareham Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Played the London heats two years ago. I know Mick the guy promoting the shows in London, and he is a top notch promoter with a great sense of humour. We weren't really heavy enough to be typical Bloodstock material, but had a good gig. Best bit was our then singer, an extraordinarily pretty young Italian girl, selling loads of our promo CDs to the predominantly male audience - we normally just give them away!

CamdenRob Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 ah many congrats I intended on going to this and totally forgot about it! Glad you got through without my vote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 New band has been invited shedloads of times to play despite having next to no official online presence yet and just keep our old promoters in the loop. Should be playing next years when we actually have a full set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) We're through to the semi-final of the Irish part. 30 minutes isn't a whole lot of time when you're playing low tempo doomy stuff. We were told the sets would be 20 minutes but, a couple of days beforehand, they bumped it up to 30 so we added one extra song Edited February 2, 2016 by Doctor J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
