Yorkshire Wedding Photographer, Harrogate

We had the absolute pleasure of attending the Open MicUK Final at the O2 on Saturday night.  This is a talent competition for unsigned UK acts and it starts with regional competitions all over the UK and culminates with the final in the O2.  At the final the finalists are split into 3 categories – Under 18′s, 18 – 25′s and Over 25′s.  The act we were particularly interested – a singing duo from York called “Disctracted” in fell into the first category, in fact they were by far the youngest in that category.

We have known the girls who form Disctracted – Danielle and Emily for years and think at only 10 and 12 years old respectively they are incredibly talented.  We’re very excited to be their “official” photographers and have recently completed the photography and artwork for their first CD – which combines some cover tracks with some of their original work – composed and written by Emily and Danielle.

At the final of the Open MicUK competition they sang  “Firework” by Katy Perry.  They were amazing.  They were only one point behind the runner-up of their category in the final outcome despite competing against 27 of the countries most talented under 18 acts.

Here’s a recording of their performance.  I’m not divulging which voice you can hear in the background shouting for them at the beginning and the end is mine!

Well done girls!
