The finals took place last night in Odd Mollies in Drogheda with five acts competing in the finals.

As well as winning a headline slot on the Firestone Music Station stage at Vantastival, the band will also get a €1,800 voucher for Musicmaker (musical equipment store in Dublin) as well as three days residential recording time at the Grouse Lodge Studios in Co. Westmeath.

Their debut EP ‘Soul Traffic’ was released last summer and following this, the band went on to win ‘Best Performers’ at the Busker Fleadh in Dublin last September.
