BOSTON’S CELTIC MUSIC FEST 11th Annual BCMFest January 10-‐11, 2014 Information for Performers Interested in Applying
BCMFest is a showcase for Greater Boston-‐area musicians, singers and dancers representing Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and other Celtic or Celtic-‐inspired traditions. Every year, BCMFest invites performers to submit an application that describes themselves and the musical or dance act they wish to share in the festival’s upbeat, all-‐ ages-‐friendly environment. This is your chance to pitch new or existing acts, cross-‐genre collaborations, participatory and/or family events for BCMFest 2014. Think outside the box. BCMFest is a home for the things you've always wanted to try. One important note for this year’s application: All performers — whether you’ve played at the festival before or not — must submit a sound sample. Yes, if you appeared at a BCMFest in some previous year, please include an updated recording with your application; maybe you have a new member or two, or have broadened your repertoire, or made other changes to your sound. Well, we want to hear what you’ve been up to. Here is what you get if you perform for BCMFest: • 2 free guest passes per act • The same honorarium as everyone else; at least $50 per person with a maximum of $200 per slot. • Wonderful backstage food, hospitality and after-‐party • To be a part of the spirited community of BCMFest artists
