Vagabond triumphed about the competition with her new single “All I see” that is to be released in just a few weeks.

The band said: “After we performed in the Lner Football Stadium, we were asked whether we could enter the Jorvik Radio 'Battle of the Bands'. We were only appropriate in May in the admission studio, but we asked Dan from the' Whiterooms' sample studios to record a live demo of 'All That We The Toway”.

“We are in the recording studio of 'Young Thugs' in a few weeks and take up our first EP. We intend to publish some singles later in the year. We constantly write many new original songs and expect to choose the best material for recording our first album in the near future.

“We are all highly motivated to become a full -time musician and to drive the band forward, record it and tour in our energetic style!

“This is just the beginning for us!”

After her victory, Jamie Morgan, moderator of Jorvik Radio, said: “Vagabond was absolutely deserved winner and I know that you will be a fantastic opening act!”
