  The company will be on hand to help bands first thing on Monday morning.

The hotel booking specialist rooms4groups will be on hand first thing on Monday morning to ensure that the bands that have celebrated qualifying for the National Finals in York and London can be the very first to book some fantastic hotel deals for the events later this year.

Best of luck

A spokesperson told 4BR: "We'd like to wish the very best of luck to all the bands competing in the Regionals over the coming weeks — and especially those who are taking the first steps on the qualification stages at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool this weekend.

Whoever is successful, all they need to know is that there will be no pressure felt when dealing with us to book their hotel needs for the National Finals.

We will be ready and waiting to hear from them first thing on Monday morning with a host of fantastic hotels already to be snapped up."
