UK’s Biggest Battle Of The Bands And Acts Competition In Glasgow - Results
The UK’s biggest battle of the bands and acts competition took place in Glasgow at the Royal Concert Hall this weekend, as the Live and Unsigned Regional Final rolled into the city.
The Regional Final brought together the best unsigned acts from Glasgow and beyond, in a bid to make it to the Area Final. Acts are now just one step away from playing the National Grand Final at Live Fest in the O2, London.
The headline act taking to the stage alongside Live and Unsigned Regional Finalists in Glasgow was singer songwriter Danny Shah, who took the audience by storm with an entertaining and energetic performance.
Judges presiding over the Glasgow Regional Final included MFR Scotland Presenter and Mercury Music award Judge Marion Scott, Benjamin Price from High Peak Radio, Celtic Music Radio’s Danny Matheson and Equity Chairman of Scottish Variety Branch Eva Loraine. The competition was fierce, and the standard was extremely high, well done to all the acts for putting on a great show!
With so much talent, it was difficult for the judges to make a decision and the successful acts that are through to the Area Final are listed below. Congratulations to those that made it through to the North East & ScotlandArea Final on Sunday 24th April at The Journal Tyne Theatre, Newcastle!
