Due to popular demand, and the sheer amount of solo and acoustic artists who apply for the Wedgewood Rooms Unsigned Band Showcase each year, we've started a series of shows especially for local acoustic acts.

Sponsored by MUSIC ROOM, the annual acoustic showcase takes place in the Edge of the Wedge from the beginning of April until June, with the final  held in the main venue around July.

First prize in 2011 was a gorgeous Tanglewood guitar, with £100 and £50 vouchers for second and third place. There are also small gifts and discounts for winners of individual heats.

As always, we pride ourselves on being fair and professional with all bands we work with, and all artists are paid.

If interested, and from the Portsmouth/Fareham area, send us an email on showcase@wedgewood-rooms.co.uk or drop a demo, biog, and of course contact telephone number into the Wedgewood Rooms Box Office or Music Room on Commercial Road.
