Music Contests Cardiff-Results from the Regional Final!
Music contests in Cardiff, such as Open Mic UK, have discovered some of the best unsigned singers in the region.
The Cardiff 2011 regional finals of the music contest were held on Saturday 8th October at The Coal Exchange. The Regional final brought together the best unsigned singers from Cardiff and the surrounding areas all competing in a bid to make it to the Area Finals in November. The competition was fierce, and the standard was extremely high, well done to all the singers for putting on a great show!
With so much talent it was difficult to make the decisions, but well done to the following acts who will be performing at the Area Final on 20th November 2011. Click on the winners below to view their winning performance footage. More footage from the competition is viewable on the Open Mic UK MUZU channel.
There is one more place up for grabs in the Area Final which the remaining acts from Cardiff can now compete for. The wildcard vote is now open and footage for the acts can be seen on MUZU, so get voting for your favourite to help them win that final spot!
The guest act for the day was Hatty Keane, who treated the crowds to brilliant performances of her upbeat and original music.
