They were voted by judges as one of the best in the Regional Final Showcase and now KT will be competing against the most talented bands and artists in the country in the Area Final on Saturday 19th May 2012.

Acts taking part in the live Area Final Showcase in front of hundreds of spectators will also get to perform to a professional judging panel, including judges from Radio One, Kerrang and Choice FM.
