After a fantastic night of live music at Pilton Working Men’s Club, Guinea-born, Cardiff-based musician N’famady Kouyaté was named the winner of our 2023 Emerging Talent Competition, which is supported by PRS for Music and the PRS Foundation. N’famady wins a slot on one of the Festival’s main stages, plus a £5,000 Talent Development prize from the PRS Foundation.
The judges – who included Emily Eavis, Glastonbury stage bookers and music business professionals – gave the two runners up places to infectious indie band Prima Queen and Glasgow post-rockers VLURE. Both acts receive a £2,500 Talent Development prize from the PRS Foundation.
While announcing the winners, Emily Eavis also confirmed that all nine acts on a night of memorable performances will be given slots at this year’s Festival.
Here are Rick Mav’s photos from a fantastic night at the Working Men’s Club.
