Venue : The Village , Wexford Street , Dublin July 1st 2010
Rules:
1 - You have 60 second, not 59 seconds and not 61 seconds. You have 60 seconds to prove your worth.
2 - You must have a guitar and it must be made of air and therefore be invisible.
3 - You must play either an electric guitar or an acoustic one, or another kind of guitar, but you can't just make it up.
4 - There are 2 rounds to the competition, the 1 st is 60 seconds of a song/track/noise of own choice. If you get through the 1 st round there's the 2 nd where you will play the 60 seconds of the compulsory song: a song so complex and demonic we will only play it you at the beginning of the round, so you will basically have to summon a performance out of thin air.
(Having submitted the track details in the entry form, the competitors must bring submit their personally selected songs with them on a CD. The competitor may edit the song beforehand so that it lasts one minute, or alternatively let the organisers know the point from which to start playing the song).
5 - Air Roadies are allowed on stage up until the 60 seconds. Pedals/Amps/effect modules/ Backing groups and Whole Air Bands- are not allowed in any visible form. What goes on in your head is your own affair, this is a Championship not group therapy. If your lucky we'll let you use a real pick.
6 - There is no dress code
