Please also take a few moments to check out our sponsor, Zimbalam.

We've teamed up with Zimbalam to offer special performance slots at The Great Escape 2011 to artists who sell the most music with Zimbalam.

Three of the best selling artists by March 1st, as selected by a committee of judges from Zimbalam and TGE, will win a slot, so to double your chances to play, sign up for an account and start selling your music.

Zimbalam is a digital distribution service designed specifically for independent artists and bands, giving full control over your digital releases. Zimbalam offers full global retail and mobile distribution across a network of dozens of stores for a one off fee of just £20 for a single and £30 for an album plus a low annual fee, deducted from your royalties, so if you don't sell, you don't pay! The agreement is completely non-exclusive and artists receive 100% of the revenues from their sales.
