This is test text please update me asap…. This page is fully optimized for our key phrases but the conversion is not direct response. The primary aim of this page is to extend brand awareness. This is the opportunity to create the ‘youbloom narrative’ that we send into the world. By measuring traffic and engagement and using ‘brand language’ to garner backlinks we can see what appeals to our target audience and evolve our narrative on that basis.

Why we charge an ‘Apply to Play’ fee
In the interest of openness and clarity we have written a piece to explain the fee to Apply to Play.
youbloom is a continually growing team of artists, advisers, experienced people from all aspects of the industry from label, PR, management, business, marketing, production, touring etc. and though the fee might seem arbitrary, it is as low as it can be, it covers only a fraction of the cost of what goes into the processing the applications.
youbloom is a collaborative project that strives to bring people together and utilise the great experience of people who have worked within the industry for years. Many provide their services voluntarily or only for direct costs incurred because of a passionate belief in developing a platform for emerging unsigned artists.
In 2014, all youbloom@Dublin gigs are free for fans to enter, the project costs include production, engineers, bringing in speakers, locations and marketing. Many volunteers and people are involved in the developing the idea in an effort to bring in creative and business people from all corners of the world to meet and network and hopefully develop relationships for the future.
