FOUR up and coming bands have won a place on the bill of Bingley Music Live after triumphing at the festival’s annual Emerging Talent Competition.

The acts - Critical Reaction, Ego States, Glue, and Kilnsey Green - will all be rubbing shoulders with this year’s big name headliners Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Shed Seven, and Jake Bugg.

Each act will get a 30-minute slot at this year’s Bradford Council-run festival in Bingley’s Myrtle Park on either Saturday, September 1, or Sunday, September 2.

The bands beat off competition from a shortlist of 24 acts in the contest, organised in partnership with The Exchange in Keighley.
