A TERRIFIC trio of acts have made it through to the final of Talent Trail 2008.
Hull-based mod covers band The 45s emerged triumphant at the Cherokee Club in Askew Avenue, west Hull, scoring an impressive 49 points out of a possible 50 in the competition’s first semi-final.They belted out The Rolling Stones’ All Over Now, the Kinks’ All Day and All Of The Night and The Who’s Substitute to confidently step into the Hull City Hall final line-up.
Singer and bassist “Knocker” Norton said: “We are all dead chuffed about the result.”
A tie for second spot ensured three eventual qualifiers.
Rachel Hemmerman, 22, of north Hull, and Jenna Roberts, 23, of
east Hull, teamed up as a duo called Temptation to stake a final spot.
The girls’ set included Abba’s Lay All Your Love On Me, Girls Aloud’s new single I Can’t Speak French and Tell Him by Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion.
Seventeen-year-old Lucy Chester is also in the final after a rousing set.The South Holderness School student switched effortlessly from Alicia Keys’ If I Ain’t Got You and Duffy’s Mercy to the theme song from the musical Cabaret.
Also competing in the semi-final were Frank Dean Junior, 32, of west Hull, who breezed through three swing standards, sax-heavy trio Solid Sax who mixed Bad Manners with Amy Winehouse, Hull-based Samantha Atkinson and Zara Thrustle performing as Honeytrap, solo singers Jenna Elise and Dave Herrick and Hull College student duo Lillie Kerman, 17, and Steve Mitchell, 19, performing as Lillie and Steve.
