Samsara Collective, a Brighton reggae act with a new spin on the Jamaican sound, will be opening for The Gipsy Kings on Sunday.
As well as the prize of a 30-minute opening slot, the winning artists will receive a professional recording session at Brighton Electric recording studios, a track produced by Dan Swift, 1,000 CDs pressed of the recorded song and six months advice and mentoring from BIMM, The British and Irish Modern Music Institute.
Darren Milton, a Boundless Breaking judge, said: “The countdown to A Boundless Summer is finally here! We’d like to thank all the artists who entered the Boundless Breaking competition. We were so impressed with the level of talent and had a very difficult time choosing our winners.
