Discovery, the original, and may we say the best, new talent and unsigned showcase in London. Every two months four acts get the chance to play to a cosily packed room of music and tv industry and friends. Bands, Singer Songwriters, and Urban acts, original music at the top of its field that’s ready to find an audience."
“Discovery is a great way to showcase a band in Central London as they know who to invite and how to look after the artist so that they enjoy the evening. THE GHOST FREQUENCY, were spotted by an A&R guy who actually came in half way through the set, loved what he saw and we later signed with City Rockers. We are grateful for Discovery, for starting it all off” Paul Ablett Vex Management ,
“For my band A SILENT FILM, Discovery was by far the best event that the band played so far. One gig there landed the band a track in a new movie though Ricall and a record deal with Xtra Mile Recordings. What more can you ask for!” Justin Hsu, 10 Music Entertainment
