GIGBETH is the UK´s newest and fastest growing Music Festival that takes place in the centre of Birmingham - in the Digbeth district. With 3 days of concerts, conferences, seminars, information points, a chance to appear on TV - as well as your favourite bands - Gigbeth offers something for any music fan.

This year it took place at the same time as the National Music Exhibition - Music Live. The idea being that music fans from other parts of the UK will come and enjoy Gigbeth after they have visited Music Live. 1st - 3rd November 2007. www.gigbeth.com

In 2007 the National Student Band Competition was held as part of GIGBETH. Our 2005 graduate Chloe Blackwell entered it with her brand new band - and she WON!! Walking away with free coach travel for a year, £500 of cash prizes, free equipment for the band, a spot on student radio, free studio time, a featured track on a new compilation CD and much more - winning this competition comes on the back of Chloe´s success at gaining a place at THE BRITS school.
