Hello and welcome to the very first Red Guitar Music competition. For our first run at a giveaway, we wanted to start with a bang so we’ve got together with the good folk at Maverick Festival and some of the acts performing at the 2019 event to offer up a pair of weekend tickets plus two sets of CDs with a Maverick Festival 2019 connection. A prize guaranteed to leave even the relative Americana newbie able to hold their own over a pint in the pub. Please read on for full details of the prize and the various ways to enter the competition:

If you’re unfamiliar with the Maverick Festival then here’s a quick guide: Maverick started in 2008 and has been bringing the very best of the many strands of music that make up the Americana genre to the leafy confines of Easton Farm Park in Suffolk ever since. The 2019 festival takes place on the 5th, 6th and 7th of July and full details are available here.

First Prize is a weekend ticket for all three days (July 5th, 6th and 7th) of Maverick 2019 and we also have CD bundles available for two lucky runners up. The first runner up drawn will also win a rather fetching Maverick Festival T-Shirt.

The CD bundle includes the following discs:

Don Gallardo – Still Here CD

Broken Bones Matilda – Live At The Pool (Signed) EP CD

Broken Bones Matilda – Madeline (Signed) EP CD

Ags Connolly – Nothin’ Unexpected CD

The Black Feathers – Soaked To The Bone CD

Maverick Guide To Americana CD featuring live recording from the Maverick Festival including Rod Picott, Amanda Shires, Rachel Harrington, Rod Clements, Mary Gauthier, Eilen Jewell, Larkin Poe etc

Maverick Struttin’ In The Peacock Barn CD Live recordings from the festival by Amelia White, Ags Connelly, Arkansas Dave, Terra Lightfoot, Anna Tivel and many more.

You can enter the competition in a variety of ways listed below.

Good luck.

Closing date is 27th June 2019 at midnight GMT.

Finally I’d just like to say a massive thank you to Lizzie and Julia for all their help and to Paul and the Maverick team + the acts who got involved with the competition.
