The entries to the band competition this year have been fantastic. We had 23 bands submit an application with only 12 getting chosen to go onto the heats. I think everyone will agree that the auditions were fun and there was a great vibe at the Studio on the day. Tony Ward did a workshop at the end of the day explaining what the judges are looking for and wishing everyone luck.

The first heats were exceptional with all bands bringing plenty of support. It was great to see other band members hang around until the end of the night to support all contestants.

Congratulations to Tempest Released , Machines of Me and Toys of Counter Culture who made it through to the Final. Lets all go up and support the next heat which is on the 26th March at Jannalli Community Hall.
