UK’s Biggest Battle Of The Bands And Acts Competition In Yorkshire - Results
The UK’s biggest battle of the bands and acts competition took place in Yorkshire at Dewsbury Town Hall this weekend, as the Live and Unsigned Regional Final rolled into town.
The Regional Final brought together the best unsigned acts from Yorkshire, Leeds 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 acts taking to the stage alongside Live and Unsigned Regional Finalists in Dewsbury were Alternative Rock sensations Attack! Attack! who wowed the audience alongside singer songwriter Chelsie Tyrell.
Attack! Attack were supported by Live and Unsigned contestants Stereofuel, who won the chance to play the support slot after qualifying for the Area finals in Manchester.
Judges presiding over the Dewsbury Regional Final included Georgina Hill-Brown of The Vocal Tutor, Alex Baker of Kerrang Radio, James Grover of Peak Studio and XFM’s Phil Clifton. Well done to all the acts for putting on a great show!
The successful acts that are through to the Area Final are listed below. Congratulations to those that made it through to the North West Area Final on Sunday 8th May 2011 at the Willows, Manchester !
