ARTIST: Triple Soul Approx. 7pm - 8pm
THREE hugely popular Plymouth vocalists have joined forces to create a brand new vocal group that is already proving to be even greater than the sum of its parts.
Triple Soul consists of Pete Gover, Kevin Kline and Christian Harling each of whom have already enjoyed considerable success singing both locally and nationally.
But their latest venture which sees the trio performing, as their name suggests, a wide range of storming soul tracks from across the decades (strictly no Blues Brothers allowed!) looks set to take them to pastures new on the corporate entertainment, national cabaret and cruise liner circuit.
Milan are three talented sopranos Gemma Edwards, Laura Pomeroy and Zannah Brooksbank who were brought together in 2008 by producer Malcolm Middleton to blend classical melodies with modern dance rhythms and package them in a pop format.
With their girl band image and dance choreography a vibrant new style has been created that has been exciting audiences all over the world including places like Cyprus, Spain, Italy and the Caribbean!

ARTIST: Joker Approx. 8.45pm - 9.30pm
Joker - Indie/Rock covers band who since April 2003 have been one of the busiest and most popular acts on the southwest circuit. A quality performance every time, delivered like it was their last show, covering tracks by bands such as Kasabian, The Killers, Muse, Elbow, Snow Patrol and Oasis.
Having thrilled audiences throughout the world with their stunning tribute to one of the world's most successful acts, Platinum ABBA have firmly established themselves in the super-league of tribute entertainment.
Tribute bands have firmly established themselves as a regular part of the music scene. Many require a certain amount of imagination on behalf of the audience and some require that you suspend your critical faculties altogether! But when the London Evening Standard claim that one such tribute band, Platinum ABBA, are "better than the original" you know they must be something special!

Stacey loves singing and has been performing for as long as she can remember. She became a household name after appearing on 2009's X Factor show. She had applied before but never made it past the first audition stage. This year she vowed to win over the judges and show her true potential, which she certainly did!
After her first audition, she left all the judges speechless. Successfully progressing through to boot camp and then to the final 12. Stacey went on to be the only remaining female artist on the show. Mentored by Danii Minogue, Stacey consistently performed incredibly, a highlight being a duet with Michael Buble in the final week.
Stacey's X Factor journey ended with her finishing 3rd. Since leaving the show, she has been performing at gigs up and down the UK, doing photo shoots, TV appearances and where possible spending quality time with her son Zach. In February 2010 Stacey started a 57 show X Factor Tour performing her favourite songs from the show.
2010 certainly promises to be a bright year for Stacey!
Olly Murs, the likeable, cheeky chap from Essex, first hit our screens by wowing The X Factor judges performing Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition'. It prompted Simon Cowell to proclaim "that's the easiest yes I have ever given".
A star was born, and there has been no turning back for Olly. Having sung his way through to the final of the 2009 show, Murs eventually ended up as runner up and has been in popular demand ever since- stocking up almost 100 live dates of his own since the show.
In February 2010, Olly signed a joint record deal between Epic Records and Syco Music. It's pretty clear that the enthusiastic singer will be around for quite some time!
In that time the band has worked in many areas of music including a spot on tour with American soulster Edwin Starr and performances on BBC1 featuring a medley performed with Atomic Kitten & Martine McCutcheon for Children in Need in 2000. In 2001 they were resident band on Carlton TV's 'Langsford Late' TV show - a series of 8 chat shows with Ruth Langsford. In between the band recorded a BBC promotional video on the set of Noel Edmonds House Party at BBC Television Centre, London. They then finished work on a number of projects including a recording of Midnight Hour with Geno Washington.
