Oh to be sixteen/seventeen again and to be in a band with your friends and have an extended group follow you round coming to gig to gig and listen to you on the radio.

BlackWaters were a thoroughly enjoying band to have on the show and I’d have them back. You can catch their live performances on my Mixcloud. https://www.mixcloud.com/chay-appleyard/
The band did participate in 50 Grades Smarter, which they scored three points (even if one was given to them), they may not reach the final but at least they gave it their best.
