Bridgwater Arts Centre is proud to announce an open call for musicians across Somerset, offering a unique opportunity for emerging talent to showcase their music and songwriting.

As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting and investing in local artists, Bridgwater Arts Centre is inviting musicians to submit their SoundCloud links for the chance to perform either as a support act for an upcoming gig or to headline their own show in the Centre’s Castle Bar.

The Centre welcomes all genres and styles of music, and there is no fee to apply. Artists from underrepresented backgrounds are especially encouraged to submit their work. Work can be submitted to BAC@bridgwater-tc.gov.uk

This initiative is part of Bridgwater Arts Centre’s broader mission to help Somerset creatives reach new audiences and grow their careers.

To stay informed about this and future opportunities, artists and supporters are encouraged to subscribe to the Arts Centre’s newsletter https://www.bridgwaterartscentre.co.uk/  and follow its social media channels on Facebook and Instagram.

Deadline for submissions is 12.00 midday 16 August 2025.

Successful applicants will be awarded a performance slot in the Castle Bar in Bridgwater Arts Centre this Autumn and the opportunity to support an upcoming gig this season.
