UK’s Biggest Battle Of The Bands And Acts Competition In Hampshire – Aldershot Results
The UK’s biggest battle of the bands and acts competition took place in Hampshire at the Aldershot Princes Hall this weekend, as the Live and Unsigned Regional Final rolled into town.
The Regional Final brought together the best unsigned acts from Surrey, Hampshire 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 Aldershot were Missing Andy who entertained the audience with some rocking indie tunes and got everyone out of their seats. Open Mic UK finalist Danica Hunter also played as a guest act at Aldershot.
Judges presiding over the Aldershot Regional Finals included Radio 1’s legendary DJ Annie Nightingale, Stuart Slater from Slater Drum School, vocal tutor Sabrina Findlay, Andy Kettle from Global Music Entertainment Group and vocal tutor Lee Webster.
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 Southern England Area final on Saturday 21st May at the Portsmouth Guildhall.
