The MusicRadar and Live and Unsigned session is one not to miss as five of the top acts from this year’s Live and Unsigned competition will be performing.
Bands on the special line-up include: The Filthy Habits, winners of this year’s Rock Category at Live and Unsigned, and Pandemick who were runners up in the same category. Also performing are acts which excelled in the Alternative Category, The Slick Minded Individuals and Fires and Fireplaces, plus Lucy Spraggen from the Urban/Pop Category.

I’d encourage everyone to try to get over to The O2 for the session as it will be a fantastic show!”
The December Sessions are designed to showcase new artists in the early stages of their careers, supporting acts that might one day play in the main arena. The gig is completely free and performances will take place on a specially constructed stage at The O2.
