London trio False Heads announced as the winners of the Northern Exposure INmusic competition!

Northern Exposure INmusic competition is a product of multiple years of cooperation between INmusic festival and its British associates – EuFest and Northern Exposure, formerly known as All About The Music.

A total of over 150 ambitious bands from all parts of the United Kingdom applied to the Northern Exposure INmusic competition, posing a difficult assignment for the jury to choose only six bands to perform in the finals, which was held on the 12th of February in the Pirate Studios in Manchester. ''The great six'' presented the following up-and-coming acts from all over the UK: Hands of Gretel (Sheffield), Himalayas (Cardiff), The Receivers (York), Deep City Diver (Stoke On Trent), The Americas (West Midlands) and False Heads (London). George Holmes, manager of This Feeling Project, Stella Grundy, musician and actress along with Keith Stewart, musician and founder of music management agency Paradise Hill Productions, formed the jury and after careful consideration of all six live performances, decided upon the London trio False Heads as the best perspective young performer and winners of the Northern Exposure INmusic contest.
