Vote early, vote often

Not only can you vote your fave new band onto the Witnness bill via Today FM - you can do the very same via BBC Radio 1, whose Northern Ireland Sessions are also bringing the power to the people

UPDATE: Not to be outdone by their southern counterparts Today FM, BBC Radio 1's Sessions In Northern Ireland are also searching for a band to add to the Witnness 2002 bill.

"Our show is all about championing new music in Northern Ireland," says the Sessions' Colin Murray. "The chance for a new band to play at Witnness in conjunction with Radio 1 airplay is an unbelievable opportunity – it's the type of break that would get any band off to a flying start."

The Fairyhouse slot is open to all-comers who should send a CD/DAT/Minidisc and up-to-date biog and photo to The Sessions In Northern Ireland Witnness Competition, BBC Broadcasting House, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast BT2 8HQ before midday on Monday June 24th.

So, pull those fingers out!
