SXSW is probably the most successful and highly regarded music industry conference and performance festival in the world today. Launched in 1987, it has grown into an annual showcase that attracts tens of thousands of key music business delegates from around the world as well as giving performance opportunities to over 1,400 artists, musicians and songwriters. What was originally a very US centric concept has now evolved into an essential international destination event that creates an unprecedented opportunity for British acts to immerse themselves in the heart of both the US entertainment business as well as make invaluable connections with other territories.

The SXSW special show will be a celebration of some extraordinary talent as well as a chance to support the Bedford. 10 lucky ticket holders will win valuable prizes on the night and there will also be a celebrity auction and lots of surprises throughout the evening.
