Open Mic Yorkshire-Results from the North & North East England Area Final!
Open Mic came to Yorkshire to search for talent in the North-East and North as singers took to the stage. The music competition has provided a platform for the best unsigned musicians in the area.
The 2011 Open Mic Area Final of the singing contest took place in Dewsbury, Yorkshire on Sunday 11th December at Dewsbury Town Hall, Yorkshire. The Area Final brought together the winners from the Dewsbury, Newcastle and Sheffield Regional Finals, all competing in a bid to make it to the Grand Final in January at The O2.
The Open Mic UK competition is also being filmed for broadcasting on Sky TV! A two-part series will be broadcast on Sky on Sunday 8th& 15thJanuary. The Making of a Star comes to Sky 201 in the New Year.
There is one more place up for grabs in the Grand Final which the remaining acts from the Area Final 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!
