The ELESC is a national mission to inject some musical style into the 2010 UK elections! How well hung is your parliament? Come and take part in the 2010 Election Song Contest!
Spearheaded by Hot Salt Beef Studios and supported by Ed Chappel of the Musical Comedy Awards (musicalcomedy.co.uk), the Election Song Contest brings a musical, satirical and comical edge to the coming election with a selection of top musicians and comedians competing to perform the best election song.
Prepare for a raucous celebration of music, comedy and amazing food at the wonderful Darbucka in Farringdon. The audience will vote for their favourite election song (see the entries so far www.electionsong.com), with the winner receiving a cash prize of £100! Radio 4's World Tonight will be also be reporting live on the event.
The evening will be headlined by SON OF DAVE, currently on a sell-out tour of the UK and Europe:
Great pop tunes with meaty hooks and catchy choruses"
NME 8/10
"03 is a sensuous symphony of sin-a glimpse into the future, this is his (Son of Dave's) triumphant manifesto"
Observer Music Monthly 4/5
"Makes even Beck seem conventional"
Uncut
"Fuzzy human beatbox blues - grizzled - rough edged - raw -melodic"
The Telegraph
PLUS top draw political comedy from KATE SMURTHWAITE
