Northern Ireland

The BBC's search for the UK's best part-time band comes to Belfast. In this heat presenter Rhod Gilbert, along with judge and mentor Midge Ure, hunt down the best part-time bands Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland have to offer and select five acts to perform and be judged at Belfast's Limelight Club. Two acts will go on to compete in the grand final in Manchester. All these acts have real jobs, whether they be window cleaners or nurses. This special programme goes behind the scenes with the Northern Ireland bands.
