Magic Octagon Win Place on Festival Bandstand
Thursday, 1st May, 2008 at 10:18 am, Isle of Wight
Well done to Magic Octagon who wowed the judges sufficiently last night to gain themselves a place on the Bandstand at the Isle of Wight Festival next month (yes, it’s only six weeks away).
Commiserations to the other finalists, The Kurves, The Shanklin Freak Show, Siniez and Kids Will Be Skeletons who we hear put in fantastic performances, making it all the harder for the judges to come to a decision.
If you were lucky enough to be at the Studio last night and fancy sending in your thoughts of the event, as usual, get in touch
