Local businessman Bee M has launched a groundbreaking way of helping struggling local musicians to promote themselves to a huge audience – without them having to pay a penny. Bee's website www.nilights.co.uk aims to catapult struggling musicians to stardom via cross promotion through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as Bee's contacts with local clubs, promoters and bars. It's a 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' approach to music promotion, and it means that bands, DJs, solo artists and musicians across Northern Ireland can save much-needed money when they're looking for their big break. www.nilights.co.uk showcases talent from across Northern Ireland, and all artists need to do for a spot is promote the website through their own social media accounts. The more they promote the website, the more exposure they get on the site – with five sacred spots on the homepage up for grabs. And with video interviews with the bands and music tracks also featuring on the homepage, it's a fantastic tool for bands to use to promote themselves. Bee comments: “The whole thing is about having Northern Ireland's artists in one place. We've found that Facebook and Twitter alone is often not enough for some artists, but together we can raise their profile so much more. Our drive is to help struggling artists who just can't get that break, not because of a lack of talent but just because no-one knows their name.” The website is already proving successful, with artists such as singer/songwriter Stevie Johnston, rock/folk band Indigo Prime and DJ Mccarroll just a few of the growing number taking advantage of the free service. It looks as though www.nilights.co.uk could be the next big thing in the Northern Ireland music scene. Ends Notes for Editors www.nilights.co.uk is a completely free service for local musicians across Northern Ireland, with absolutely no sign up fees involved. Everything is funded through Oldforge Productions. Pictures of the artists are available, and Bee is currently available for interview.
