Centre Stage- Eagerly Anticipated Final

MARTIN HOUSE CHILDREN’S HOSPICE’S CENTRE STAGE 2012

THE FINAL – O2 ACADEMY, LEEDS – 17^TH JULY 2012

Back in April, Martin House Children’s Hospice held their third, annual Centre Stage Heats at The Wardrobe, Leeds. Over a thousand people came down to support over thirty local, young bands and artists who battled it out to earn themselves a place at July’s Final, where they will compete for a place on the bill at both the Leeds and Reading Festivals this summer.

The Final is now looming and very eagerly anticipated, and is set to take place on 17^th July 2012 at O2 Academy, Leeds. The event will see a diverse range of acts, from as young as twelve years old, and will be judged by a very high profile panel, including Neil Pengelly (Booker for Leeds and Reading), Mike Heaton (Embrace), Jeremy Lascelles (Former Virgin A&R Manager/ CEO Chrysalis Music), Ross Jarman (The Cribs) and Matt Bowman (Pigeon Detectives). 

The Judges at the heats had such a difficult time choosing the winners to go forward to the final. It should be a brilliant night of wonderful music. Come and support your favourite band and cheer them on and at the same time you will be supporting Martin House Children's Hospice.
