January 2014 seems at the current time to be rather far in the future but, in the spirit of the the six Ps, applications are now open for performers to apply for slots at the Eurosonic Noorderslag 2014 networking event which takes place 15 to 18 January in Groningen. Previous beneficiaries of the exposure the event affords include Anna Calvi, Crystal Fighters, James Blake, James Vincent McMorrow, White Lies and The XX.Eurosonic Noorderslag has been on the go for nearly 30 years so that's a fair old track record. Submissions are welcomed up till the end of August 2013 and there are two methods by which you and your band can apply.
