The six finalists and their mentors go head to head in a battle of the bands at the Ritz in Manchester. From the regional heats, Midge Ure selected the finest from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales - the explosive ska of Bombskare and the down and dirty rock 'n' roll of Johnny Cage and the Voodoogroove. Hooky landed his two favourite bands from the north - spit-spattered punks Cadavers and the sun-drenched harmonies of the Caffreys. Jazzie rooted out the best from the south. The bands perform an original and a cover song for the Manchester audience who will vote to decide which band will be crowned the winner of UK's Best Part-time Band.
