Centre Stage Heats - The Wait Is Almost Over

The Blue Pelicans
Quentin's Basement
For the bands who competed in the heats this week, the suspense is nearly over. The finalists will be anounced on the Alan Raw Show on Radio Leeds this week. From what I witnessed during the heats the job of the Judges is going to be extremely difficult in deciding the finalists because all of the bands are extremely talented. The Judges this year are:- Isaac Heywood, Phil Weller, Michelle Dalgety, Mike Heaton and Mickey Dale. I don't envy them in their task.
It was a pleasure to see so many young people who have worked hard with their families and schools to raise so much money for this very worthwhile charity. http://www.martinhouse.org.uk/
The final will be at the O2academy Leeds on 17th July 2013. The finalists will be anounced soon. Good luck to all the participants
I will see you all at the O2
