A Bradford singing duo have reached the finals of a talent contest.

Marc Otway and Abi Uttley have been shortlisted for the Emerging Talent Competition organised by Bingley Music Live.

The contest gives new, unsigned artists from the UK chance to compete for a main stage and second stage slot at this year’s festival.

Applications have been whittled down to a shortlist of eight artists who will perform in front of a panel of judges at the final on Friday.

Marc, from Yeadon, and Abi from Bradford met in 2011, at an open mic night.

Marc, 23, is also a solo artist, having finished second in Rock The House 2012, held at the Houses of Parliament.

Abi, 27, is also an actress and has appeared on Coronation Street, Doctors and is soon to be in Emmerdale.
