RECORD NUMBER OF ENTRIES AND COUNTRIES FOR THE GIBRALTAR INTERNATIONAL SONG FESTIVAL 2015
Although every edition of the Gibraltar International Song Festival (GISF) has witnessed an increase in the number of songs received, the coming edition – due to be held at the Tercentenary Sports Hall on Saturday 9 May, 2015 – has broken all records. Close to 700 songs have been received, some from surprising countries of origin, such as the United Arab Emirates, India, Indonesia, Malawi and Vietnam.
The full list of the 28 countries from which entries have been received is as follows (in alphabetical order): Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, France, Georgia, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Malawi, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, UK, Venezuela and Vietnam.
The undeniable fact is that, year by year, the GISF is reaching an ever-wider international audience, resulting in the receipt of songs of great quality, diversity and cultural/ethnic influences. Each edition also acts as an important shop window for the authors and composers whose songs are sung live on the night, as well as for the singers who perform them. The whole show is live streamed via partners in Latin America, Europe, Russia and surrounding regions, as well as the GISF website itself, to a potential worldwide audience of over 100 million.
GISF is also living proof of one of music’s central premises: that music knows no frontiers. In this, it receives valuable support from the UK’s PRS for Music (the UK’s Performing Right Society) and Spain’s Sociedad General de Autores, y Editores. Both organisations publicise the festival via their internal and website communications with their members, thus reaching both their national and international memberships, providing them with a direct link to the GISF’s own website.
Further, GISF is projecting Gibraltar’s image and reputation worldwide, ably assisted in this venture through a direct link to the Gibraltar government website that appears on every page of the GISF’s own site, supported by valuable backing from the Ministry of Culture.
BJÖRN AGAIN – THE WORLD’S NO 1 ABBA SHOW
Bjorn Again is the World’s Number One ABBA show, having now performed over 6000 concerts in over 100 countries worldwide.
Currently in its 26th year, Bjorn Again has sold out concerts in India, China, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, and all over Europe, Asia, USA and Canada.
Bjorn Again is regarded as the most successful tribute band of all time and is the only ABBA show kindly praised by Benny and Bjorn of ABBA.
Bjorn Again have played at all the major concert venues in the world including The Sydney Opera House, The Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Stadium; at all the major rock festivals such as Reading, T in the Park and Glastonbury; and performed private shows for Bill Gates, Rowan Atkinson and Russell Crowe. The band’s fans include Dave Grohl, Tom Jones, U2, Metallica and Robert Plant/Led Zeppelin. The band also played an integral part in launching the film ‘Muriel’s Wedding’ at its World Premiere at The Cannes Film Festival in 1994.
