  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
