Over 10,000 bands and acts entered the Live and Unsigned music competition back in January 2011 and battled through auditions to the Live Regional Finals, with the best talent making it through to Area Finals, and then the National Grand final at the London O2 on July 23rd, when The Trinity Band were crowned champions.
