Competition win puts band in the spotlight

CUMBERNAULD band The Replay saw off 400 rivals to win the recent Urban Spotlight competition.

Organised by music promoters Yrock, the contest offered aspiring bands the chance to win a professional demo recording, plus 100 copies of the demo and a launch gig in March.

The Replay sent in a recording that impressed the judges enough for them to be among the 25 finalists invited to audition before they were selected as one of the three winning acts.
