What a fantastic start to Live & Unsigned this year. So many brilliant bands, and singers.

The judges saw over 60 bands and singers today and dewsbury town hall. Heavy Metal, Rock, Indie, Pop, Accoustic, Rap! It was a great day. The talent level was really high and very tough for the judges.

The regional final in march is going to be superb.

Helena Starz & the other Finesse girls, Jess & Rachel performed at the Vocaltutor Christmas Show Written by Mr Trevor Tunicliffe ( Mr T ), this was a show produced and presented by Georgina Hill-Brown at Westgate Common Club on Thursday night. Appearing on the show were, Emily Atkinson, Carla Tagg, Helena Starz, Aimee Barratt, Danielle Atkinson, Shannon Mares, Phoenix, Chloe Gadd, Jess Pinder, Ellie Hill-Brown, Naomi, Mary Thompson, Rachel Skelton. The only boy on the show was Joel Wright. There was a lady called Jay who I think should be already working as a professional singer. In fact Jay did sing up to a couple of years ago and I hope is considering a come back. I could pick out plenty of good voices; there were certainly no bad ones. I did like Helena Starz version of ‘Oh Holy Night’ which was very moving. Helena, Rachel and Jess are the trio ‘Finesse’ who appeared in a show for the Polio Fellowship at Crigglestone recently. I would like to give Georgina Hill-Brown and her husband William a hearty pat on the back and a great big thank you from their students for the hard work they put in. A good night of entertainment but where were the members? They missed a fine show from these young singers.

Other performers included the Gurkhas, local singers, dancers and entertainers. It was a great night!
