Callebra are a fantastic band and they were great on the night, the singer has an incredible voice. However, it was hardly a fix given that The Jackdaws changed judges opinions with their one, final song and it was a close run thing up to that point between them and Decadence in Berlin, who were also great. I love it how people claim a fix just because they have different tastes and might have liked another band more. I have to admit that the Busted-esque tunes of Hill Valley High didn’t do a lot for me but they played really well. I do know that The Jackdaws entered without even thinking of winning it, they just wanted to play at such a great venue, so fair play to them. They were awesome on the night.

There’s a much better local band: The Badgers. At the weekend, they played a great set.

It can be set or sett, actually, merc. It’s one of my “stand up” gags so it doesn’t translate too well to the pen or keyboard.
