In past weeks we cheered Brighton contender Ben Faux for the Open Mic UK contest on, and guess what, he’s now one of the four finalists out of 16 regional finalists to woo the judges with his acoustic know-how. The live area finals where the four will take to the stage in a final bid to win the prize is taking place Saturday 27th November at Portsmouth Guildhall. The overall winner will then get the coveted slot to perform at the O2 Academy in London, as well as the possibility of touring the UK, and a recording contract all up for grabs. Go get ’em, Ben, we’re rooting for ya.
