unsignedAct

It’s a nationwide competition to find the best unsigned musical talent in the UK.

Whatever kind of music you play, whether you’re in a band or a solo artist, if you write and perform your own material, Orange unsignedAct could be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.

TEN BEARS BIOG

Hailing from Manchester, Ten Bears have been described as one of the hotly tipped groups for 2009.

Lead by the casual charm of 24 year old Sam Hammond, Ten Bears have been causing a stir around Manchester music venues. Their energetic rock ‘n’ roll delivers pop slices such as ‘Charlie’ and ‘To The Moon’ - and brings to life the tales of the Ten Bears themselves; Kris Hudson, Luke Daniel, Zoob, Tim and Sam.

Their debut single - ‘Dirt On The Radio’ is released on 19th January 2009.

They are currently in the studio working with Ric Levy (Yeah Yeah Yeah’s/Mystery Jets), and head out on their first UK tour in November (dates below).
