Label Love: Bella Union Competition – less than 24 hours to go!

13 October 2011, 14:16

Last week, us Line of Best Fitters decided to celebrate the output of one of our favourite independent record labels, Bella Union!

We chatted to Lanterns on the Lake about the label, we showed you an exclusive Veronica Falls session, we spoke to Zun Zun Egui about their newly released album, Katang, we chatted to the lovely Treefight For Sunlight and we were even lucky enough to catch up with Mr John Grant.

To top it all off, Mr Bella Union himself, Simon Raymonde, has offered us a brilliant insight into the inner working of the label, as well as rounding up the year and giving us some thrilling hints of what we can expect from the label in 2012.

To round off the week, we have a brilliant competition for you, offering one lucky winner NOT ONLY a bundle of Bella Union goodies (including T-shirts and CDs), but also a pair of tickets to any three Bella Union UK shows over the next 12 months!

So what do you need to do to win?

Get out your felt tips, HB pencils, watercolours, photoshop… whichever medium allows your creative juices to flow most freely, and create a picture of your favourite Bella Union artist. Once it’s done and you’re thrilled to bits with it, post it to our Facebook page and you’ll be entered into our draw to win the super Bella Union swag on offer!

There are already some great entries posted on our Facebook page, but the competition is far from finished! As an example of what you could do, here’s a highly accurate representation of one of may favourite Bella Union bands… Just count yourselves lucky I’m not allowed to enter this competition, s’all I’m sayin’…
