Up next is Charlotte Currey from Purple Radio. Kate noted the different textures from Charlotte’s combination of podcast and radio clips. Charlotte’s link on Mongolia had been positively received by all judges.

Leeds Student Radio’s Charles James Philpott was up next with a combo of his podcast and radio clips. Julie was really interested in the Boris Johnson story and wanted to hear the rest…Charles replied with ‘you can hear the rest over a coffee’. Charles got a great reaction from the audience after that response! Paul noted the demo as one of the best demos yet!

Up next is Issy Brand from Shock Radio. The judges noted how brilliant this demo was and credited her for using clickbait as a way to intrigue audiences. Chris said ‘this was the closest thing to the night’s best demo’ and Julie said ‘I wish I was closer to the golden buzzer’! Well done Issy.

TUXTRA’s Ella Wilson was up next. Chris noted that Ella needs to work on lifting her voice and to give it a bit more ‘omph’! Paul said that Ella is clearly warm and funny but needs to relax into in.

From Spark we’ve got Dom Aberdeen. Julie really enjoyed Dom’s voice and had her wondering what song was number 1 when she was born. Pandora noted Dom’s storytelling abilities and how Dom turned around something quite dated into something quite fascinating.

Next up we have Margot Howell from University Radio Nottingham. Chris thought there were some great links in Margot’s demo. Pandora really enjoyed the demo and wished she could go back in time!

Lewis Eyre from Nerve Radio up next. Chris noted good marks for Kylie Minogue but thought the demo had too much going on. Kate was the last judge to buzz out and said she was trying to see what path the demo was taking.

Next up…Kiera Ford from Leeds Student Radio! Kiera spoke about the Shrek lore and her loving devotion towards Chappell Roan. Paul had been the only judge to buzz out but said it had been the best link so far. Pandora regrets not pressing the golden buzzer! Chris notes that Kiera got to the funny faster which is essential!

Tom Turner from Shock Radio got picked out next. Calum noted his passion for music and Kate agreed with his passion but noted his pace and suggested to vary. Paul suggested that Tom relaxes more so that the pace varies. Overall Tom’s passion for music shone through!

Up next we have Alice Patterson from Spark. She inserted some iconic soundbites from Irish legends for her St Patrick Day’s Special! Kate led with Alice’s fabulous sense of humour and Chris reflected on her on links saying to use more creative ones.
