YOUNG band One Way, whose members come from from Herefordshire and Glou­cestershire, wow­­ed the judging panel at the audition stage of the Live and Unsigned national talent contest.

Now One Way will be competing against the most talented bands and artists in the country at the regional final showcase in a bid to make the Grand Final at The O2.

The young band members battled against hundreds of other entrants to secure a spot in the live shows. The best acts will also get the opportunity to play at some of the biggest festivals in the UK from over 100 festival slots including Beach Break Live, Boardmasters, Bearded Theory, Strawberry Fields and Osfest.

This year's competition also offers acts an extra chance for exposure as being filmed for broadcasting on the Sky TV network in an exclusive fly-on-the-wall documentary.

They received this feedback from the audition judges: "Very talented young band, technical guitarist and good onstage coordination. Had put some good work in to pull it off, be great to see how they do at the shows may put a few of the older bands to shame."
