Round 2 of Acoustic Art 5 took place on Tuesday 10/04/2012.
Gary who makes all the contestants sound brilliant…they all owe you!
Natalie Chapman completes the judging panel.As a singer/songwriter she is well aware of what the contestants have to bring to this competition in order to succeed. Aside from managing and promoting acts she is also an accomplished actor and broadcaster.
Bruce Dennill, the other judge, seems to know something that no one else does.
Always tough to open the evening and that task fell to Micah who started proceedings with an pure acoustic set.
Zaki was up next and his supporters were right behind him.
Tim C plucked strings and sang despite a rather noisy table of diners.
Matthew kept his “fans” and the rest of the intimate audience entertained.
Paul decided to wear his Rupert the Bear trousers! Not sure if he scored points with the judges for that.
A retro style Amp that was used by one of the contestants…
Clifford certainly put his heart (or should that be lungs) and soul into his performance.
Penultimate performer Justin brought some life to the last part of the evening.
A previous contestant,Tim H, rounded out the evening.
The microphone awaits the next group of contestants
Bruce adding up the scores…
