Skirmish Battle Of The bands


This area has not had a true music contest since the Dorset Music Awards in 2012. A brand new event hosted by Aaron Lowney of “Skirmish Presents” is being hosted by The Winchester Pub in Bournemouth. The event is designed to give a massive shot in the arm for the local music scene with an aim to find a balance between getting exposure and being paid with exposure, which to Aaron seems more like exploitation. The artists have been selected, which includes solos, duos, and bands with a great mix of genres. Skirmish Presents has previously hosted a series of events geared around all things battle! …dance-offs, comedy battles, rap and poetry slams, and now Battle of the Bands! The main aim is to give all the bands that enter much-needed exposure and the eventual winners with get a music video made worth £750.
