SYS Battle of the Bands Gig

I had the opportunity of going attending an all ages gig last night where some of the UK's unsung young talents were performing. Bands and artists such as RizzleKicks, MiLLion, Jake Bentley - Ross, MC Mozart (FunkieJunkie), Burning The Beginning, Access to Apollo The Special K's and The Indigos all competed for the prize of being able to perform to an audience at the 02 Arena. I thought this would be a great opportunity to get some interviews and pictures of the acts for my music magazine. The majority of acts where Indie artists which was perfect for my genre. I ensured that I emailed a few acts in advance and they were all happy to help out.

Here are a few of the questions I prepared in advance and asked all the bands and artists available on the night.
