They were all competitors in the Oxy Band 2000 competition. They sang and danced in the hope of winning a makeover, a professional photo shoot and a day in a London studio with a top producer to record their very own CD. After some tough decisions, the judges chose: Chris Kempster, Lucy Dann, James Bradley, Shane Ring, Kathleen Rumble, Shaun Steer, Ricky Mays and Stephanie Clarke.
They will join other regional finalists at the final in London on Friday, July 28 at Sound in Leicester Square.
