Live Music That Hits the Right Note

How does it work?

  • Enter online and show us what you’re made of. We’ll ask for the basics and a track or two to hear your sound. Just a heads up: submitting doesn’t guarantee you a spot but your local pub will be in touch if you're selected to play.
  • Play a live heat at your local. Expect proper crowds and real-time reactions. Win, and you’re off to the regionals.
  • Smash the regional final and you’ll earn a place at The George in Southwark for the grand finale where the best of the best battle it out.
  • Win it all and claim a £10,000 cash prize, a Live to Vinyl experience at Metropolis Studio, and more. Oh, and eternal bragging rights (obviously).

Rock 'n' Roll to a JD & Coke

We love a drink with a story, especially one that gives back. That’s why every time you order a Jack Daniels & Coca-Cola, we’re donating 10p to the Music Venue Trust.

That means every sip you take helps support something bigger, whether it's community music projects or charities that keep young talent on track. So when you raise your glass, you’re not just toasting a great night, you’re backing future legends.

Support with every sip - ask for JD & Coke at the bar.
