iEvent... Pardon My Talent @ Guanabara (Tuesday, November 20)

"With The X-Factor now occupying our Saturday nights, Pardon My Talent returns with its own search for the rawest talent the scene has to offer. The live talent showcase will feature acts from the weird to the wonderful with the audience handed the final vote on who deserves to win the amazing prize. Last year’s Pardon My Talent was an undoubted success with outlets such as BBC Radio 1, MTV and Flavour Magazine all on the panel supporting the talent search. The show was also blessed by the presence of the late great Aaliyah’s brother Rashad Haughton who came down to check out what the UK had to offer. Now it’s back…"

Next Tuesday (November 20), Pardon My Blog's talent showcase Pardon My Talent returns and it will be taking place in London's Guanabara with ten hopeful emerging artists competing to win a plethora of prizes including a full feature on Link Up TV including a live session, some studio session time from HCM Entertainment and a one-to-one sit down with a U.S R&B genius whose name is yet to be announced. The night's judges include Sian Anderson (Rinse F.M, Sightracked PR) and Pardon My Blog's Ralph Hardy.

iEVENT... STYLE & SUBSTANCE: Listen Different @ McQUEEN - Shoreditch w/ ROXXXAN + Ashleigh Ashley + Natalie May + MORE (Tomorrow, November 6)

"Expect to see a show stopping performance from the newest signing to Polydor Records RoxXxan - she’s the missing link in the MC game. Making her presence felt on the live circuit and already championed by the likes of Zane Lowe (Radio 1), DJ Target (1Xtra), Swerve (Kiss) and MistaJam (Radio 1/1Xtra), RoxXxan has been tipped as ‘one to watch’ by RWD and style guru’s i-D.  

Also performing on the night will be Ashleigh Ashley, a singer with a mix of funky-fresh soul, RnB and a hint of rock. Ashleigh Ashley has appeared on the Channel 5 show ‘Must Be The Music’ and has recorded vocals for T-Mobile. She’s currently finalising her long awaited EP which will be set for release in 2012. Other performers on the night include: Natalie May, Rebecca Storm and many more." - SistovaProduction

I've been slacking on my blogging game for weeks now - even the good folks at Alexa are ducking my Alexa Rankings by hundreds of thousands of points - but I just had to post this one up for you to make sure you know about it and are attending tomorrow! New Polydor Records signee  RoxXxan from Birmingham is headlining this Style & Substance event and if that wasn't already enough reason for you to get down there then you must not know about RoxXxan or alternatively, I dunno what is wrong with you! Furthermore, a really stellar line-up of emerging artists - from Ashleigh Ashley to Natalie May to DJ Izzy Lawrence - is also on hand to make it a really top night showcasing the very BEST in UK FEMALE TALENT!
