The application process for performers has just opened and we are encouraging talented artists to apply to be part of next year’s varied and colourful line up.
Steve Smither, our Performance Director, said: “We are interested in almost anything — from the most obscure world music to rock; performance art to circus acts; choirs, jazz and spoken word, theatre and traditional folk. As the reputation of Rhythms of the World is based on originality, all we ask is for variety and quality and no covers or tribute bands”.
Tonight We’re Electric (above), a band tipped by the BBC as one to watch in 2011 and who appeared at Rhythms of the World for the first time this year said: “We had the time of our lives up on stage! It was something we have been working towards for a while now and it was everything we dreamed of and more. Truly the best day of our band’s career so far!”
