Here is some news on this Friday's GIT Award show at LEAF for you today. Do read on...

"It has been a significant year for musical creativity and diversity on Merseyside and one standout act from the region will be recognised this coming Friday when the winner of the inaugural GIT Award 2012 will be revealed.

On Friday, April 27 the winner of The GIT Award 2012 will be announced at Leaf on Bold Street, where each of the shortlisted artists is expected to perform while being filmed exclusively by Mocha and Liverpool Football Club TV. Journalist and Goldblade musician John Robb will host the evening.

Since its launch at Liverpool Music Week’s closing party in November 2011 up until the closing date at the end of February 2012, the GIT Award received more than 380 entries.  The shortlist was then decided by a judging panel comprising top names from Liverpool Football Club, NME, Vice Magazine, The Quietus and The Guardian alongside the cornerstones of the region's music scene – Getintothis, Bido Lito Magazine, Waxxx and EVOL. Now 6 months since its launch the time has come for the winner to be announced.

Ten of the 12 nominees will be performing on the night with exclusive new music and videos accompanying their display. Accompanying them will be a host of DJs including, Chew Disco (Emma Obong and Khalil West), Daniel Hunt (Ladytron) and Absense (Waxxx resident DJ). Milk Productions, on Bold Street, are also making a commemorative memento for each of the nominees.

The new approach, called ‘Start to Grow Your Business’, focuses strongly on encouraging enterprise and entrepreneurial action in key sectors of the economy.

The first phase of this new approach will be the recruitment of agencies and individuals from across the economy who can act as enterprise facilitators, spotting businesses ready to grow and assembling a portfolio of support that they need. Liverpool Vision wants to assemble a team of enterprise facilitators and/or a group of enterprise facilitation organisations capable of working together to deliver its new approach to business start-up and early years growth.
