    3 Reasons to Enter Demo Factor…

    Last year crowds gathered in Exeter where Sammy James’ demo was played out. It was a tough decision but Sammy’s demo wowed the judges and crowned him victorious.

    Almost 12 months on we asked him to give us three reasons why YOU should enter Demo Factor this year.

    Do you think this is his opinion just after winning? Have a listen to his thoughts before he found out he won.

    Top Tips for Demo Factor entrants

    1. Best link first
    2. Be yourself
    3. Do not include other people that are not part of the act
    4. Experiment and be creative. Don’t copy from someone else
    5. Don’t start your demo with a menu. Just give me the best thing you’ve ever done
    6. If you make me laugh then you’ve won me over

    Later in the night Sam caught up with the winner, George Godfrey. They chat about what’s next for George and if there were any other demos that he was nervous about being better than him.
