Coventry born Terry Hall, lead singer of legendary 2Tone band The Specials, said: 鈥淚 remember all too well how difficult it was to get a break into the industry in the early days. There鈥檚 a lot of local talent and I鈥檇 like to help give a hand up into the industry where I can.鈥 Judge Peter Doherty, of The Libertines, said: 鈥淣ow, more than ever, the next generation of musicians need our support. Live music is back in Coventry and the scene here is thriving. We鈥檙e proud to base our label in the area.鈥 麻豆社 CWR presenter Letitia George was also one of the judges.
