Local band deliver a top class performance in the Area Final, securing them a place in the Final of Live and Unsigned 2010.
Following on from our previous post, a huge well done goes out to Lymm’s local band Cheap Cuts for their fantastic performance at the Area Finals of Live and Unsigned 2010.
The North West England Area Final took place on Sunday 9th May at the Willows in Manchester. All the best unsigned acts from across the region performed on stage to a live audience and judging panel, with the hope of making it to the Live and Unsigned Festival at the O2 Arena in London. A day jam packed with some wicked tunes and a buzzing beat, there was bags of talent about and all the acts performed well.
Cheap Cuts wowed the judges with their amazing performance and they received some very positive feedback. Judges gave live feedback to the acts straight from the judges desk via Twitter. They tweeted that...
“Cheap Cuts had a refreshing sound to the cover and were really nice on the ear. These guys are very easy listening.”
The band’s outstanding performance has secured them a place in the National Grand Final of Live and Unsigned 2010, which will take place on Saturday 10th July. Well done lads, and we wish you all the best of luck in the Final.
