Reidys Talent Contest Winners Crowned!

Psychedelic rockers Good Foxy left King George's Hall triumphant last Thursday night after winning this year's Reidys Talent Contest. They, along with all the other acts put on a blinding performance that impressed judges and audience members alike, however it was the young four-piece that walked away with £1000 worth of Reidys vouchers, studio time at The Grand in Clitheroe, a music video courtesy of Blackburn College and slots on the main stages at Darwen Live and Testifest.

The performances given on the night of the final, and indeed throughout all stages of the competition have proven that the music scene in the local area is alive and well. There's no shortage of talent and enthusiasm for live music and with the upcoming Friday Night Live gigs (partly thanks to our very own Working Man) at various venues across Blackburn, we're hoping that the scene won't just fizzle out until next year's competition. Don't forget that we're also carrying on our weekly Sunday Sessions to help with the inevitable end-of-weekend blues.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that's been involved in this year's Talent Contest  and for creating a buzz in Blackburn that we haven't seen for a good few years! We have more upcoming events in the next few months so keep up to date with all things Reidys on our Facebook and Twitter pages, and keep on playing!
