4barsrest at the 2010 Nationals

4BR is at the Royal Albert Hall today — so make sure you follow all the action with us.

RAH
 

The sun is starting to rise on London as 20 bands make their last minute preparations for their assault on the National Finals at the Royal Albert Hall.

10.00am kick off

Kick off is at 10.00am and 4BR will be there to bring you the action as it unfolds.

We have our usual live coverage from the event as well as our Twitter feed (#gbnats2010) for extra pithy comments and all those important stats and odd facts about the competing bands.

Kick off is at 10.00am and 4BR will be there to bring you the action as it unfolds.

Drama

It promises to be a dramatic day as Black Dyke chase a hat trick of wins, Tredegar the double, Cory their first win for a decade and Foden's their first win of the century.

Can David King win here for the first time or will it be a Fairey tale for Russell Gray and Geneva — not forgetting the other fancied bands led by Rothwell — all seeking to get their name on the famous trophy for the first time in their history.

Join us there — to make sure you don't miss a thing!
