Events - LUDSS Got Talent 2010
The second annual LUDSS talent show took place on Wednesday 14th of July and yet
again the array of talent was exceptional. Tutor judges Mr Graham McElligott, Mr
Tom Thayer and Mrs Danuta Urbanska honoured us with their presence and good humour.
They dished out comments with razor sharp wit, well practised looks of distain and
occasionally came up with some compliments as well.
Andrew Jones, Christopher Chucas, Matthew Hawkrigg, James Hyde and Luke Sergeant formed a world class dance troop called The Matrix Band, with Luke Sergeant astonishing the hysterical crowd with his smooth high tenor vocals. Rajpreet Sondh and Hanna Miraftab performed a flawless and perfectly choreographed Michael Jackson dance routine with an Indian twist performed by Signature on Britain’s Got Talent. Miss Katie Blundell performed a beautiful and spellbinding adaptation of the classic jazz standard ‘Autumn Leaves' accompanied by acoustic guitar.
After much deliberation the judges painstakingly whittled the acts down to Sefaakor Ahiaku and The Matrix Band who both performed again to stake their claim for the much converted winner’s position.
The final decision was gauged by clap-o-meter and in the end sex-appeal prevailed over natural talent to make The Matrix Band the winners of the LUDSS talent show 2010.

Sefaakor Ahiaku bravely started the show with an angelic rendition of I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free that left the crowd speechless. Mike O'Neil’s Band (consisting of Michael O'Neill on guitar + vocals, Jack Jenkinson on bass, Luke Allen on sax, Huw Owen on drums, Neal McCormick on "keyboards", Andy Davies on trumpet and Fran Thompson on sax) blew the roof off with a truly electric version of Kids by MGMT that got the audience singing along and dancing away. Peter Clarke stole the show with the astounding talent of flossing his face (if you can’t imagine this, I will spare you the trauma and not describe it for you) but it got the loudest cheer of the night.
