Bands and singers can record their next LP for FREE at Grammy Award-winning Parr Street Studios, as part of Insure4Music's newly launched award.

Insure4Music's Best In Music Award 2019 gives you the chance to win a free recording day worth £1,000, at the UK’s biggest recording studio outside of London, and where Coldplay recorded their first three albums.

The award is open to all kinds of artists, from soloists to bands, and provides an opportunity to have their music heard by a much wider audience.


The Prize
The winner of this award gets to spend 10 hours in Studio A, Parr Street’s largest studio, where they will have full use of equipment, plus a dedicated engineer.

They will then get a copy of the produced version of their songs to distribute themselves. What’s more, we’ll share your songs on our blog, social media channels and newsletter.


How To Enter
To enter this award, all you need to do is film yourself or your group performing and upload the link to the Insure4Music website with a few details. You will then be given a unique link to share with family, friends and followers to encourage people to vote for you.

The two artists with the most votes will be put forward to the final stage and the winner will be chosen by Chris Taylor, director at Parr Street Studios.

Taylor said: “The Best in Music Award is a great way for musicians who are starting out in the business to get recognition for their hard work and a great opportunity to work within Liverpool’s vibrant music scene. “I’m looking forward to seeing what the applicants deliver and working with some great unsigned artists.”

Since opening in 1991, Parr Street Studios has hosted a range of esteemed artists. These include Blossoms, Rihanna, Paolo Nutini, The Stone Roses, Rihanna, Paolo Nutini, and Echo and The Bunnymen.
