First on stage was Luke Sital-Singh, whose enchanting voice and gentle acoustic guitar playing captivated the audience. Luke’s wry sense of humour became immediately apparent when he introduced one of his songs, revealing it was ‘about making love to a killer whale' - eliciting laughs from an otherwise humbled audience.
Holly Walker brought a very different charm to the stage as she sat above her keyboard in a funky orange dress and delivered hooky, provocative lyrics positioned with a swinging rhythm.

‘Yes’ bellowed the audience as she inquired, ‘Does anyone every find themselves wasting the day on Facebook?’, before launching into her punchy song Modern Life, which offered a witty overview of social networking.
Then it was G Frsh's turn to give an incredible performance, amazing the crowd with his dynamic flow, entertaining wordplay and playful beats. The audience bopped along while G Frsh's smooth dance moves were magnetic.
Last to hit the stage was Laura Steel, a charismatic power-pop diva, who certainly made a fierce impact. Dressed in dagger heels and hot pants, she put in an energetic performance overflowing with attitude and personality.
