A Chinnor live music promoter and record label owner has been invited to join the team behind the very successful TopoftheOx Song competition.
Michele Pethers, who previously organised the very successful ?Profile Fest ?events at the Civic
Centre in Aylesbury and runs an indie label representing both local and national acts, has joined
TopoftheOx, originally set up to find the best song in Oxfordshire and Brighton.
The competition was such an outstanding success, that TopoftheOx are now branching out and running the competition on a national level, meaning that bands, musicians and solo artists from Bucks and Beds can also get involved this year along with the rest of the UK.
Michele joins forces with Oxford Doctorate and business entrepreneur, Mark Hussey, and young, dynamic website designer and entrepreneur, James Tromans, who is an Oxford graduate/student. Jamie had already developed a highly successful online gaming website in his late teens.
From the 1st August 2009 musicians, bands and solo artists from around the country will be able to upload their original music to www.topoftheox.co.uk
ready for the public to vote for their favourite track.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED

At the end of the competition, the songs that have received most votes in the Metal, Rock, Pop & R&B, Alternative and Electric Charts, will win a professional re-recording of their song mastered by some of the industry ?s top names, released nationally, appear on stage at a historical and prestigious venue at a winners concert, as well as a professional promo video and photo shoot by a top respected photographer. The artist with the song
that receives most votes overall will not only have their single supported with a music video and professional photos, but also receive management, a UK tour and promotion and band merchandise giving the artist that vital lift off that could turn them into household names.
