Young musicians needed for Pendragon TV project!

This from Wilcey on the Pendragon forum

QuoteEndemol UK are making a TV programme for CH4 (UK) focused around Pendragon!!!
As part of this project we really need some young musicians. To apply you need to be between the ages of 16-25 and have some proficiency in one or more of the following:- Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Drums.
You will need also to be available for some time between 19th June and beginning of July and either be located in the Swindon area or be able to travel to this area as needed.
The idea is to get some groups of young muscians together to play some material with Nick (and possibly other members of Pendragon)

If you are interested, Endemol UK are wittling the lists down and checking applications.

Give them a call on 0208 222 4072 where an answerphone will pick up your details and a researcher will get back to you.

This is a really exciting project for Pendragon, and we hope that those of you who don't get to join in will be tuning in when the show is aired!

Cool.

But I don't live in the Swindon area...
Besides, I don't play any of those instruments, I could possibly play some keyboards since I learn very quickly (I can play Kino's 'Picture' now too), but not really that good. I want to try out my vocals.

I hope there will be such a project in The Netherlands too (about some prog-artists, 'cause we have Idols already and I hate Idols).

Hello, I was just curious, since this won't be on Dutch television can someone please record this for me? I know it isn't on TV yet, but when it is, I might forget to ask!

Endemol is a dutch company, so it would be fair if we (dutch proggers) get a similar program with Ayreon or something... We could beg them.

Appelmoes?? · Tue, 2006-08-08, 16:33:42

No TV-channel in the Netherlands will want to feature that I fear

Instead we get a new Idols-clone very originally called 'the X-factor'

Idiots, I say...

creme anglais · Tue, 2006-08-08, 20:53:36

This should be on UK TV in September/October..........no definite date as yet.
I went to the gig, where Nick, Clive and Peter had been coaching these kids and they played a couple of Pendragon numbers...........it really was amazing, they were all great!

I don't have VHS at home, but it should be worth finding someone who has to video this for you!

Ahh man...

In The Netherlands we have a website called "uitzending gemist" which means something like "broadcast missed". That way you can watch a programme online.
Does the British have something similar?? Please??

And errr... can you host it online or something?? Or how are we gonna do this...

johninblack · Wed, 2006-08-09, 19:55:17

worry about that later.

creme anglais · Fri, 2006-08-11, 20:40:42

can it be "you-tube"-ed?

I will be sitting down in front of my telly for this , but if we can get it on you-tube, then everyone can see it!!!

(sorry I neither have the technoloy or the know how to do it tho!

)

PH · Fri, 2006-08-11, 20:58:49

You Tube? I don't think it can hold a whole serie... but maybe it is THE solution!

johninblack · Mon, 2006-08-14, 01:59:45

I'd be quite happy to record it to DVD and then post it to PH in Holland providing that if anyone else in Holland or indeed Mainland Europe wanted it that PH passes it on. This is a genuine offer, i'm not one to promise and then not deliver. Are you ok with that PH?

Seems like a great deal to me.

But it's still so far away (september/october).
So I guess you can mail it to me at the end of december or so?
Man, that would be great!

Silhobbit managed to upload half of the show...........apparently they overslept and therefore missed the begining

............. but you can see the 2nd half by going here...........

thanks for the link

LOL, this was a year ago already...

Thanks to the "Who's Online" list I noticed that a guest was looking at this page.
So what's the status?

bluepony · Thu, 2007-11-22, 10:02:36

Yes, indeed - anyone recorded this (and still got the recording)? I've seen some of the 'preparations' for this TV show, so I'm very interested in the final result!

You're aware that one doesn't spit as much when singing in English, Paco?

BTW they're looking for a pianist to play the solo part in the Rach 3 (Rachmaninoff) at the Copenhagen Radio Hall. Maybe somethin for you, Paco?

You're aware that one doesn't spit as much on people as you do, Nicky?

I speak very clean Dutch. No dialect, just a perfectly clean Dutch voice.
But sing? I really want to be able to sing, so I better train it.

At the moment playing some solos on my shiny keyboard.
