A new music series is coming to Sky; The Live and Unsigned music competition is going to be filmed for a Sky TV music series when auditions begin in 2012. A fly-on-the-wall music series on Live and Unsigned has given acts another reason to enter the competition!

The documentary music series airing next year on Sky TV, will give an insight into what goes on behind the scenes of the Live and Unsigned competition.

Live and Unsigned music series on Sky TV

The Sky TV music series on Live and Unsigned will be an insight into upcoming acts trying to make it in the music industry. The Sky TV series will go beyond the glitz and glamour of the music industry and follow emerging bands and solo acts as they aim for stardom. This raw insight into what it takes to be successful will follow the drama and real life situations of the competition, as each act fights for survival on the road to the Grand Final of the competition at The O2 in London.

We will be there to see dreams coming true and to witness the pain of failure. With a live final at The O2, a recording contract, and celebrity judges, there’s a lot to play for. Whether it’s backstage tussles, pushy parents or acts going AWOL, the shows never go completely to plan! 

The series will follow the dramas and divas involved in one of the UK’s biggest unsigned music competitions. It’s Airlineand Pineapple Studios stirred with the high stakes of The X Factor and all the real life unpredictability of The Apprentice.

Live and Unsigned founder Chris Grayston says viewers can expect the unexpected; “Live and Unsigned shows really can range from the sublime to the ridiculous, and that’s just on stage! Backstage can be just as entertaining with the Live and Unsigned staff attempting to coordinate hundreds of wannabe bands and soloists.”
