Whit Friday results

The official results will be published on 4BR as soon as they are officially released by the organisers, as bands are requested to show respect and patience to contest providers.

Whit Friday
  The results will be announced in the next 72 hours

With the sun shining down on the Whit Friday villages in Saddleworth & Oldham Districts and Tameside this year, there was a fantastic atmosphere to enjoy as bands battled for the titles and a share of the prize money pots on offer.

Results

The official results are expected to be announced in the next 72 hours or so, with the full results in Saddleworth provisionally set to be released on Saturday afternoon (2.00pm onwards) with those from Tameside on Monday 1st June.

4BR has respected the request made by both organisations only to publish the results after the official announcements have been made.

No unwarranted calls

As has also been clearly published, the organisers in both circuits have also asked that band representatives do not make unwarranted phone calls, text messages or emails to contest providers or adjudicators trying to find out results before the official announcement.

The remarkable set of volunteers have worked exceptionally hard to provide everyone with a great social and musical experience, so please respect their work and commitment to hosting a fantastic day.
